The recession of 2001 and unemployment insurance financing
Vroman, Wayne (2005-08)
Although the economic downturn of 2001 was one of the mildest of the past fifty years, between 2002-04, several large states experienced difficulties financing their unemployment insurance (UI) programs. Vroman discusses the recession's effects on states experiencing UI funding problems and the borrowing options available when state trust fund reserves are inadequate.

Bank capital requirements for market risk: the internal models approach
Hendricks, Darryll; Hirtle, Beverly (1997-12)
The increases prominence of trading activities at many large banking companies has highlighted bank exposure to market risk-the risk of loss from adverse movements in financial market rates and prices.

Inequality in labor market outcomes: contrasting the 1980s and earlier decades
Murphy, Kevin M.; Juhn, Chinhui (1995-01)

One possible explanation is that the increased demand for skills during the 1980s was unusually concentrated among the most skilled workers rather than being spread throughout the skill distribution.
