Interview with Marvin Newman
Full text linkProf. Marvin Newman grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and South Florida. He received his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University in 1956, then continued his studies at the University’s law school, where he earned his L.L.B. and J.D. degrees, graduating magna cum laude.
With his wife and newborn daughter, Newman moved to Orlando in 1960 and began practicing as an attorney. He joined Rollins in 1961 as an adjunct lecturer in Business Law. His passion for the subject was evident, and within a year, he was teaching classes Monday through Thursday and sometimes on the weekends, while continuing to practice law and devote time to his growing family (the Newmans eventually had four daughters). In 1972 he became a tenured professor in the College of Arts and Sciences.
A popular and dedicated teacher, Prof. Newman received numerous awards over the course of his career, including the Hugh and Jeannette McKean Grant, The Outstanding Professor Award from the Crummer Graduate School of Business, The Rollins Decoration of Honor, and the College’s Distinguished Teaching Award. He introduced a total of 10 courses to the Rollins curriculum, but the one that is dearest to him is “Death and Dying.” This class was immediately popular with students and led to Prof. Newman becoming an internationally recognized scholar on ethical and legal issues related to the terminally ill. He is the author of numerous publications and co-author of several books on this topic, including To Die or Not to Die and Perspectives on Death and Dying.
Prof. Newman retired from Rollins in 2011. Looking back on his teaching career, he said, “I feel that it’s the memories my students will have of me that will count more than the assets that I leave. So it’s been wonderful.

The promises and pitfalls of contemporaneous reserve requirements for the implementation of monetary policy
Full text linkIn February of this year, the Federal Reserve Board changed the rules by which banks’ required reserves are calculated; the previous system of lagged reserve requirements was replaced by contemporaneous reserve requirements (or CRR). According to the Board, the new reserve accounting system will improve the implementation of monetary policy by strengthening the linkage between bank reserves and the money supply. However, according to Marvin Goodfriend, author of “The Promises and Pitfalls of Contemporaneous Reserve Requirements for the Implementation of Monetary Policy,” the benefits of CRR are not obtainable with operating procedures that target either the Federal funds rate or nonborrowed reserves. Goodfriend presents the case for combining CRR with total reserve targeting. He argues that, compared with Federal funds rate or nonborrowed reserve targeting, a procedure in which total reserves are targeted would minimize the number of difficult economic and political decisions the Fed has to make, protect against pressure to help finance the budget deficit, and make the Fed’s effort to stabilize the price level both more credible and more effective.Monetary policy
Regularity for nonlocal equations with local Neumann boundary conditions
Full text linkIn this article we establish fine results on the boundary behavior of
solutions to nonlocal equations in domains which satisfy local
Neumann conditions on the boundary. Such solutions typically blow up at the
boundary like and are sometimes called large solutions. In
this setup we prove optimal regularity results for the quotients ,
depending on the regularity of the domain and on the data of the problem. The
results of this article will be important in a forthcoming work on nonlocal
free boundary problems
