Question for Dec 24, 2010

Sorry for the ridiculously late post. This is a make-up for missing my turn on Monday. This is the last question this year. We'll resume again in January.

The _______ is a whimsical economic theory presented by George Taylor in the 1920s. The theory says that _______ fluctuate with the economy, measured by stock prices or gross domestic product. When the economy is flourishing, _______ increase, meaning one would see more _______ (such as in the 60s), and when the economic situation is deteriorating the _______ drop, perhaps even to the floor (such as during the great depression). Incredibly, recent research from the Erasmus School of Economics showed empirical evidence of this theory. What am I talking about?

Note: The blanks don't contain the same word.

This is the Hemlines Economic Theory, which states that the hemlines on women's dresses rise and fall along with stock prices.
