The world isn''t ready to rethink American history, just yet... But this book dares to be different. It''s a documentation of beating the system in the midst of drama during two separate time frames(Civil War and the 21st Century). Alcoholism has been around since prostitution. Some people choose to indulge more than others. Those who over indulge still have to function with the rest of us. How they cope is a matter of physical, mental and spiritual strength. This vice leaves people vulnerable to poor decision making. Which can affect others as well as themselves.

In 1696, the English barkentine, Reformation, sailing out of Port Royal, Jamaica, wrecked on the desolate shores of La Florida, the so-called "Land of Cannibals." There, the party of castaways, including a Quaker named Jonathan Dickinson and his family, were captured by the fierce Ais Indians, who were known for torturing and killing shipwreck survivors who were not of Spanish origin - as were those onboard Reformation. Hope seemed a distant mirage; but then, the Hand of Fate can be a fickle thing.

In the wake of the global financial crisis a considerable amount of research has focused on integrating financial factors into macroeconomic models. Two common approaches for doing so include the financial accelerator and collateralised lending, examples of which are Gilchrist, Ortiz and Zakrajˇsek (2009) and Iacoviello (2005). This paper proposes that two useful ways to evaluate such models are by focusing on their implications for business cycle characteristics and whether the models can match several stylised facts about the impact of financial conditions. One of these facts is that credit crises produce long-duration recessions. We find that while in the Gilchrist et al (2009) model financial factors can impact on particular cycles, they do little change to the average cycle characteristics. Some, but not all, of the stylised facts are captured by the model.

The output gap is of central interest to policymakers. Being unobservable, however, its estimation is prone to error, particularly in real time. Errors result from revisions to the data and unavoidable end-point problems associated with the econometric techniques used to estimate it. This is the first study of the seriousness of these problems for Australia. Over a 28-year period, we obtain real-time output-gap estimates which are unbiased and highly correlated with final estimates derived with the latest data and the benefit of hindsight. We conclude that reasonably reliable output gap estimates can be obtained in real time.

Today causal inference is the goal of many applications of machine learning in economics. Double LASSO (Belloni, Chernozhukov & Hansen 2014) is one of the most widely used approaches. It transforms the causal inference problem into two prediction problems on the reduced form so that a standard variable selection method - LASSO (Tibshirani 1996) - can be applied to select the controls for each. These controls together are used to obtain the causal estimate with OLS. We review the performance of Double LASSO in settings that are realistic for applied work. We demonstrate both the circumstances in which Double LASSO may outperform simple benchmarks when the standard unconfoundedness assumption holds, how this out-performance may diminish when it does not and that biases may instead be amplified.
