Abstract
This economic recession started from the subprime problem in 2007 and still harasses many people in the world. The U.S. government attempted to solve the problems by injecting a tremendous amount of money into the financial system, but allowed Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers to go down. Why the U.S. government aided AIG and not Lehman Brothers was mainly due to economic modeling. Some of these fundamental economic concepts and some of the future economic scenarios will be discussed.
