Private money in our past, present, and future
Champ, Bruce A. (2007-01)
The government isn?t the only entity allowed to issue money. Private citizens and businesses can too, and throughout U.S. history, they often have.

Journal Article
The check is dead! Long live the check! A Check 21 update
Gerdes, Geoffrey R.; Bauer, Paul W. (2009-06)
Check 21 legislation has enabled the check clearing system to transform from paper to electronics, and much more rapidly than some had predicted. As a result of competition with other payment methods, check use has been declining since the mid-1990s, but because of the rapid adoption of electronic payment methods, checks are evolving and are unlikely to disappear anytime soon. Checks are still a convenient way to initiate some payments, and electronic processing has only made them more competitive with all types of electronic payments.

Do Longer Expansions Lead to More Severe Recessions?
Zevanove, Nicholas; Tasci, Murat (2019-01)
We are now in one of the longest expansions on record. The recession that preceded that expansion was one of the worst in history. Are those two facts related? Some economists suggest they are, while others suggest it?s the other way around: Longer expansions lead to more severe recessions. We assess the evidence for these two hypotheses. We find clear evidence for the former and little for the latter. Deeper recessions are often followed by stronger recoveries, while longer and stronger expansions are not followed by deeper recessions.

Ergungor, O. Emre; Oliver, Nelson (2013-11)

Population Distribution and Educational Attainment within MSAs, 1980-2010
Fee, Kyle (2013-11)
Though most people in the US live in metropolitan areas, they've been choosing to live farther and farther from the center of those areas since the 1950s. While that trend continues to this day, there are some dramatic changes. The exodus from the center of town is slowing down quite a bit, for one. For another, those residents who now live in the central city are better educated than they used to be.
