International research is the worst....
I have found many sources for my papers (3 left, all ECON, totaling 29-38 pages over the next week and a half) but so many of them are industry sources that I have to pay to get. Some of them such as the Adam's Liquor Handbook for research into the Distilled Spirits Industry (which btw is extremely successful, there are some stocks that will be good buys if firms can manage to not take hits from rising food prices)costs over a grand for a years copy into all this collated and organized data. I want to see it so bad, but just I don't think there is anyway around the monetary barriers. On the other hand, with I could totally work for some of the firms that put out these reports.
But yes mad papers, finding international regulation of different industries is extremely difficult. Specially China, I don't think my hypothetical company will expand there, too many regulations (that I don't want to sort out in my research), sides, I have to be a international company, meaning I sell around the world but my industry is defined as the American Whiskey Industry, meaning I have to be an American firm and cannot participate in any kind of foreign direct investment, otherwise I wouldn't be American Whiskey.
Aside from papers: two Econ tests, mad frat stuff, two 21st birthdays for friends this weekend, and still trying to find a place to live next year.
Alright, I should work instead of procrastinate.
