Fannie Mae And The Credit Crisis


Fannie Mae plays an important role in the mortgage market, but it suffered major problems
during the credit crisis. Discuss the underlying causes of the problems at Fannie Mae,
beyond what is discussed in this text.
Should Fannie Mae be owned completely by the government? Or should it be privatized?
Offer your opinion on a structure for Fannie Mae that would avoid its previous problems and
enable it to serve the mortgage market moving forward.
