Candidate Articles

Normal Good I have been discussing normal and inferior goods in my economics courses this semester, so this article sparked my attention and interest. It had been suggested that this article be merged with the article for inferior goods, so I felt that this would be a good article to edit for my final project, and decide for myself whether there should be a merge or not, or if the two can remain where they are now. (Stub Class Economics Wikiproject Article)

Economy of Milan I chose this article because I have an interest in international economics and I will be in Italy in the spring. I believe there is potential for expansion in this article as Milan is one of the main business and fashion capitals in the world.

Hershey Bar I love chocolate, so when looking through the food and drink talk page, this article caught my eye. I think it would be very interesting to edit and expand this article, go into maybe some economic factors of the hershey bar/company, and go into the history, where it is sold, etc. There definitely can be a lot added to this. I'm sure I can find information on the Hershey website as well to add into this.

Balanchine Method I have been dancing almost my entire life, so I tried to find a wikiproject for the arts or for dance specifically. I saw this article under the stub articles. George Balanchine was a world renowned dancer and choreographer, I was truly surprised the article on him was so short. I do not foresee an issue finding information to expand this article.

I decided to add a section on Banks, Finance & Other Services as I found a lot of information on that throughout my readings:

BANKS FINANCE & OTHER SERVICES

Banks throughout Italy went through many changes in the late 1800's to early 1900's. One of the Milanese banks, the SBI, had many issues resolving its resources it did not have support from foreign banks nor enough savings domestically. Other banks during this time in Italy, specifically during the 1907 international crisis, the SB had high liquid assets and would have had to gone bankrupt without the help from Banca d'Italia. A group of industrialists and bankers from Milan transformed the banking institute Figli di Weil Schott e C. into the Società Bancaria Milanese <The Economic History of Italy 1860-1990</ref>

Most traditional industries have relocated to other locations other than cities or have even closed down since the late 1970's in Italy. However, Milan, became Italy's most successful postindustrial city. Milan’s service sector has benefited from the efficiency of the city’s banks and the stock market, the Borsa Italiana, located in Piazza degli Affari in the centre of the city. The majority of the services revolve around the Fashion industry, but the city is also a world centre of design at whole. There are specialties in the city in furniture design, graphic design, among other specialties. The design industry is centrally located to the Besana in the Brianza area north of the city. Communications is also a major service sector of the city. Milan is home to Mondadori, one of Italy’s largest publishing group. In addition, thenewspapers Corriere della Sera and La Gazzetta dello Sport along with the newsmagazine L’Espresso.

Employment in Italy is linked to manufacturing as it has been seen that when there are technological changes in place, there is typically a positive effect on job growth; therefore, on employment rates. This was seen in the late twentieth century in Italy in general

""FASHION"" Italian Ready-to-wear has grown tremendously in Milan, in addition to the Fashion industry on a general note. Many economists don’t pay a great deal attention to the fashion sector of the business in Milan. However, there is a great deal of quantitative weight being held by the fashion industry in terms of the economy of Milan, yet not much research has been conducted by historians or economists. The industrial center of Milan had been creating textiles and clothing for centuries, but it became an international superstar of fashion in 1970, and a leading international fashion hub or center.
