on 1 article, out of a choice of 3, pertaining to macro-economics...I chose the article that deals with the question, "Do changes in stock prices cause recessions?"

Yeah, but I figured I'd spice it up a bit, and say that the stock prices don't cause anything. It's just a reference. It's the poeple's decisions that ultimately cause changes. And people's decisions are influenced by more than the prices.



For writing purposes, I like to take the unusual path, because it's hard to make "yes" into 2 pages.

Consider this scenario:

Stock prices drop. Man jumps out of window and strikes pavement with considerable force. Voila! A recession.



Or is that a depression?
