Hi! My name is Owen Handy. I just finished my GA this past semester, and I am currently in the process of transferring into MSU for Business Management. I want to take a few classes while that process sorts itself out. I am working as a touring stagehand in the summers. It’s hard work, but I only have to work 3ish months out of the year.

As far as my interest in economics, I am very interested in an extended look at macroeconomics and how the flow of capital, or lack thereof, affects political instability in the world. Are there any discernible patterns prefacing conflict which can be easily avoided through fiscal policy? Also I would like to look at wage floors, and their effects on employers at different product quality levels. With an increase in consumer liquidity, is there an equal/equitable distribution of the new demand across quality levels? Comparing healthcare systems is another topic I would like to study. I am curious about the effectiveness of price controls and other methods for lowering healthcare costs.

Good to meet everybody!

Owen
