Throughout the 1920s, prices on the U.S. stock exchange rose exponentially, however, by the end of the decade, uncontrolled growth and a stock market propped up by speculation and borrowed money proved unsustainable, resulting in the Wall Street Crash of October 1929. This set a chain of events in motion that led to economic collapse - banks demanded repayment of debts, the property market crashed, and people stopped spending as unemployment rose. Within a year the country was in the midst of an economic depression, and the economy continued on a downward trend until late-1932.

It was during this time where Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) was elected president, and he assumed office in March 1933 - through a series of economic reforms and New Deal policies, the economy began to recover. Stock prices fluctuated at more sustainable levels over the next decades, and developments were in line with overall economic development, rather than the uncontrolled growth seen in the 1920s. Overall, it took over 25 years for the Dow Jones value to reach its pre-Crash peak.

This study examines the market return spillovers from the US market to 10 Asia-Pacific stock markets, accounting for approximately 91 per cent of the region’s GDP from 1991 to 2022. Our findings indicate an increased return spillover from the US stock market to the Asia-Pacific stock market over time, particularly after major global events such as the 1997 Asian and the 2008 global financial crises, the 2015 China stock market crash, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2008 global financial crisis had the most substantial impact on these events. In addition, the findings also indicate that US economic policy uncertainty and US geopolitical risk significantly affect spillovers from the US to the Asia-Pacific markets. In contrast, the geopolitical risk of Asia-Pacific countries reduces these spillovers. The study also highlights the significant impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on these spillovers. Given the increasing integration of global financial markets, the findings of this research are expected to provide valuable policy implications for investors and policymakers.

The Long Depression was, by a large margin, the longest-lasting recession in U.S. history. It began in the U.S. with the Panic of 1873, and lasted for over five years. This depression was the largest in a series of recessions at the turn of the 20th century, which proved to be a period of overall stagnation as the U.S. financial markets failed to keep pace with industrialization and changes in monetary policy. Great Depression The Great Depression, however, is widely considered to have been the most severe recession in U.S. history. Following the Wall Street Crash in 1929, the country's economy collapsed, wages fell and a quarter of the workforce was unemployed. It would take almost four years for recovery to begin. Additionally, U.S. expansion and integration in international markets allowed the depression to become a global event, which became a major catalyst in the build up to the Second World War. Decreasing severity When comparing recessions before and after the Great Depression, they have generally become shorter and less frequent over time. Only three recessions in the latter period have lasted more than one year. Additionally, while there were 12 recessions between 1880 and 1920, there were only six recessions between 1980 and 2020. The most severe recession in recent years was the financial crisis of 2007 (known as the Great Recession), where irresponsible lending policies and lack of government regulation allowed for a property bubble to develop and become detached from the economy over time, this eventually became untenable and the bubble burst. Although the causes of both the Great Depression and Great Recession were similar in many aspects, economists have been able to use historical evidence to try and predict, prevent, or limit the impact of future recessions.

The global automobile crash test female model market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing safety regulations, advancements in automotive technology, and a growing awareness of gender-specific differences in crash biomechanics. The market size in 2025 is estimated at $150 million, reflecting a significant rise from previous years. This growth is projected to continue at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% from 2025 to 2033, indicating a substantial market expansion over the forecast period. Key market drivers include the rising demand for accurate crash simulation data to improve vehicle safety for female occupants, stringent government regulations mandating the use of female crash test dummies, and the increasing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The market is segmented by crash test type (frontal and side) and vehicle application (passenger cars and commercial vehicles), with passenger cars currently dominating due to higher production volumes. Leading players like Humanetics, Kistler Group, and JASTI Co., Ltd. are actively engaged in research and development to enhance the accuracy and sophistication of female crash test models, contributing to market growth.

However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness considerable growth in the coming years, fueled by rising vehicle production and increasing adoption of safety regulations in developing economies like China and India. Despite the positive outlook, the market faces certain challenges, such as the high cost of advanced crash test models and the need for ongoing research to refine their accuracy. Nevertheless, the market is poised for continued growth, driven by a combination of technological advancements, regulatory pressure, and a commitment to improving overall road safety for all occupants.
