Title: Mastering the Art of Crafting a Literature Review on the Financial Crisis of 2008

In the realm of academia, literature reviews serve as fundamental components of research papers and
dissertations. They offer a comprehensive overview of existing literature on a particular topic,
providing insights, analyses, and critical evaluations. However, crafting a literature review, especially
on complex subjects like the Financial Crisis of 2008, can be an arduous task fraught with challenges.

The Financial Crisis of 2008 remains one of the most significant events in modern economic history,
triggering widespread economic turmoil and reshaping global financial landscapes. Consequently,
the literature surrounding this crisis is vast and multifaceted, comprising academic papers, books,
reports, and analyses from various disciplines such as economics, finance, sociology, and political
science.

Navigating through this extensive body of literature requires meticulous planning, research, and
analytical skills. Researchers must sift through a plethora of sources, discerning relevant information,
identifying key themes, and synthesizing diverse perspectives. Moreover, they must critically
evaluate the credibility, reliability, and validity of each source to ensure the integrity of their review.

One of the primary challenges encountered in crafting a literature review on the Financial Crisis of
2008 is the sheer volume and complexity of available literature. The crisis spurred a deluge of
academic inquiries, policy analyses, and retrospective studies, contributing to a vast and sometimes
overwhelming pool of information. As a result, researchers may struggle to discern significant
insights amidst the noise of conflicting opinions and interpretations.

Furthermore, the interdisciplinary nature of the financial crisis necessitates an understanding of


diverse theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and empirical findings. Researchers must integrate
insights from economics, finance, sociology, political science, and other disciplines, creating a
cohesive narrative that elucidates the multifaceted dimensions of the crisis.

Furthermore, in many cases investors have incentives to coordinate their choices. The cautious
conclusions that we can draw from the studies we analysed, is that the effect of the crisis was
different across and within countries. The US financial crisis left many shocked because it severely
affected their lives. From 2010 to 2017, even as home prices increased nearly 50%, the number of
homes for sale per household declined 37%, and are still 38% below the historical average. Since
banks lend out most of the cash they receive in deposits (see fractional-reserve banking), it is
difficult for them to quickly pay back all deposits if these are suddenly demanded, so a run renders
the bank insolvent, causing customers to lose their deposits, to the extent that they are not covered
by deposit insurance. The financial crisis of 2008 The world economy is currently at its worst with
most countries hit by the pinching global recession. The subprime mortgage was activated by the
influx of funds from private sector, the predatory lending behaviors of the mortgage providers and
the banks entering into the mortgage markets. Fraud has played a role in the collapse of some
financial institutions, when companies have attracted depositors with misleading claims about their
investment strategies, or have embezzled the resulting income. They also showed links between
suicide trends and unemployment, By contrast, Coope and colleagues 26 found no change in overall
male suicides in England and Wales. Depositors start withdrawing their deposits- a “run” on the
bank. Unemployment increased suicide rates for men aged 25-44 years only, while for women no
association was found with austerity measures and economic growth. It was basically risk-free for
the bank and the hedge fund. The banning question among citizens is that what caused the financial
crisis in 2008, and how would we think of the economic and social costs of the financial crisis. The
shame, he says, is that opportunities to change it are now being ignored. The funder was not

continuing we’ll assume you’re on board with our. As house prices fell, it became clear that
mortgage-related securities were on the verge of tanking. The technical economic indicator
associated with recession is economic growth which is negative which in quarters is two consecutive
when measured by a nation’s GDP (Gross Domestic product). The council had to ensure that
discipline prevailed in the financial market by eliminating perceptions from traders that the
government would protect them from making losses in case their business collapsed. Housing prices
started falling in 2007 as supply outpaced demand. Astell-Burt and Feng 18 reported an increased

first to show an increase of suicides after 2008. Nine studies (22%) were rated as moderate, showing
a high risk for bias in up to two domains (table 3 ? ). In December 2001, Federal Reserve Chairman
Alan Greenspan lowered the fed funds rate to 1.75%. The Fed lowered it again in November 2002 to

Measurement error in health outcomes, adapted from the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, captured the
heterogeneity of indicators used, which varied in terms of potential for misreporting (eg, high
potential for suicides, none for all cause mortality). The subprime mortgage crisis and the bursting of
other real estate bubbles around the world also led to recession in the U.S. and a number of other
countries in late 2008 and 2009. Fraud has played a role in the collapse of some financial
institutions, when companies have attracted depositors with misleading claims about their investment
strategies, or have embezzled the resulting income. With more debt, you become more vulnerable to
debt becoming very expensive and not being able to repay it. An increase in savings meant that
people were more willing to save than to spend, as a result of which interest rates fell. In particular,
almost all studies on suicides (14 of 16 studies) and mortality (both), were rated as weak (that is, had
a high risk of bias). The effect of the late 2000s financial crisis on suicides in Spain: an interrupted
time-series analysis. Such failures are associated to lack of code of ethics and poor ethical orientation
by these financial firms. The problem is that such ethical issues have been ignored and that the
practice still exists. When the values of the derivatives crumbled, banks stopped lending to each
other. To browse Academia.edu and the wider internet faster and more securely, please take a few

by attempting to control society. We need more empirical studies that explore the impact of the crisis
on health and, more importantly, investigate the mechanisms that affect health outcomes. Economic

mortality (both), were rated as weak (that is, had a high risk of bias). This is consistent with previous
studies that showed worse effects on groups that lack social protection. 58 Finally, some evidence
suggests that the crisis increased social inequalities in health, disproportionately affecting
immigrants, 37 those who were less educated, and those living in certain regions. 52 Further, from a
policy perspective, most studies failed to capture the mechanisms that affect health outcomes. The

economists have long known that distorted beliefs have important effects on prices of financial
assets, e.g. risk-free rate and stock prices, but they still find it wanting to understand why the
distorted beliefs can cause massive default in 2008; second, understanding what caused the financial
crisis helps to create effective changes in policy. Further, the 2008 financial crisis was activated by

that overall mortality is procyclical and decreases during financial crises, while suicides are
countercyclical and increase when the economy worsens. 15 Our findings shed some light on the
groups most affected during the financial crisis. The economy recovered better than we could have
hoped, and still American society has fractured more than we could have imagined. With such cheap
loans, many people bought homes as investments to sell as prices kept rising. One important example
is the Great Depression, which was preceded in many countries by bank runs and stock market
crashes. In addition, the magnitude and geographical variation of the crisis makes it a unique context
to analyse. We conclude that past sales and partly sales expectations may change company and
marketing goals that eventually affect the use of strategic communication instruments such as
advertising. Another goal of regulation is making sure institutions have sufficient assets to meet their
contractual obligations, through reserve requirements, capital requirements, and other limits on
leverage. That had been imploding from 1929 through to the trough, early in 1933. Between August

odds of low birthweight deliveries after the crisis (from 2.5% to 3%), particularly among mothers
younger than 25 years and among unemployed mothers. This in turn meant that the legislation
increased the extent to which financial agencies may be liquidated by the government. Lehman’s
