    Extractions: home rough type store nicholasgcarr.com Main A couple of weeks ago, one of the most prominent economics bloggers, Harvard's Greg Mankiw, turned off the comments feature on his blog. The comments, he wrote , had been "a source of both fun and frustration," but as his blog became more popular, keeping up with the comments had become a time-sink: "To put it simply, this blog is a hobby ... I just don't have the time to police comments and enforce good behavior, especially since some posts were generating more than 100 comments." Noting how "time-consuming" the blog had become in general, Mankiw ended by suggesting that he wouldn't be averse to exiting the blogosphere altogether: "if attendance falls off a lot, I will start looking for another hobby. Maybe golf." Mankiw's move prompted Dani Rodrik, another Harvard blogger, to wonder , "Is the econ-blogosphere unsustainable?" As the smartest economist-bloggers become more popular, he theorized, they will spend increasing amounts of time working on their blogs, steadily raising their opportunity costs without producing much if any income, until at some point blogging becomes, well, uneconomical: "So if economists with high opportunity costs of time start to get out, shall we have a lemons problem on our hands? Will eventually the only prolific bloggers remain the ones that are not worth reading?" Does, in other words, the economics of blogging guarantee that only the mediocre and the worthless will survive - the ones whose time isn't particularly valuable to begin with?

JPMorgan Chase Sunday evening. After all, the Fed agreed to support $30 billion in Bear mortgage assets for JPMorgan. It is then that the Bear team unload on Mr. Bernanke, going back to 2003 and 2004, when he was still a Fed governor. At the time, they argue, Mr. Bernanke and the rest of the Fed were far too concerned about deflation and kept interest rates at what they considered to be a far-too-low rate of 1 percent before only gradually raising them. Mr. Ryding and his team do not claim to be omniscient: They say they did not anticipate the extra liquidity the Fed created would lead to the housing bubble, though they argue that inflation fears will still cripple the financial system.

48. MIT Economists Help Their Profession Get Its Groove Back - International Herald
    Feb 19, 2008 MIT economists help their profession get its groove back.  
    http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/02/19/business/view.php
    
    Extractions: Search By David Leonhardt Published: February 19, 2008 document.writeln(''); E-Mail Article Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size It was only a decade ago that economics seemed to be an old and tired discipline. The field no longer had intellectual giants like John Maynard Keynes or Milton Friedman, who were shaping public debate by the sheer force of their ideas. Instead, it was devolving into a highly technical discipline that was even less comprehensible than it was relevant. Some Wall Street firms had become hesitant to hire Ph.D. economists, and the number of undergraduates majoring in the subject was plummeting. Over the past decade, however, economics has begun to get its groove back. Armed with newly powerful tools for analyzing data, economists have dug into the real-world matters and tried to understand human behavior. Economists have again become storytellers, and, again, they matter. They have explained why Americans do not save enough money - and come up with clever ideas to increase savings. They have discovered that modest increases in the minimum wage do not actually destroy many jobs - and thus made possible the recent push to raise minimum wages one state at a time. Since the mid-1990s, the share of undergraduates majoring in economics has jumped 12 percent.

I was more interested in what Seth Masia The root problem with Lomborg’s consensus group is that it’s composed entirely of economists. Most of them have only a shaky understanding of climate science, and they base decisions on the idea that it’s possible to place a cash value on a human life. Most of the economists who contributed to Lomborg’s books assume that climate change proceeds smoothly and gradually. Scientists know this is not the case: it proceeds in spikes and lulls. So Dr. Simon challenged the supposed experts to pick any resource that was going to become scarce, and offered to bet them it would instead be cheaper in the future. Dr. Ehrlich and two specialists in energy and natural-resource issues, John Harte and John Holdren, picked five metals and bet $1,000 in 1980. Ten years the supposed experts in natural resources had to pay up, because all five metals were cheaper, just as Dr. Simon had predicted. (You can read more about this in my

Yes, demand did ease in January, but purchases of single family homes actually rose. That’s something of a victory for the market as it has been almost a year since that happened. Condo sales plummeted, but this is the more volatile segment of the market. Meanwhile, prices of single-family houses continue to drop and were down over 5% since January 2007. That decline could start accelerating as the inventory of homes on the markets is rising sharply. With so many defaults making their way back on to the market and market prices should be depressed further. Eventually, sellers will end their denial and realize that if they want to unload their homes, they will have to cut prices even more. With mortgage rates low, declining prices should bring in more buyers. I expect sales to bottom over the next few months, though prices are likely to continue falling for quite some time.

"I am honored to have earned the support of this distinguished group of economists," said Senator Edwards. "Today, families across the country are working harder than ever, but struggling to make ends meet. To help middle-class families get ahead, we need a president who will fight for universal health care, smarter trade policies and a new energy economy."

    http://www.mit.edu/~krugman/evolute.html
    
    Extractions: Nov. 1996 Good morning. I am both honored and a bit nervous to be speaking to a group devoted to the idea of evolutionary political economy. As you probably know, I am not exactly an evolutionary economist. I like to think that I am more open-minded about alternative approaches to economics than most, but I am basically a maximization-and-equilibrium kind of guy. Indeed, I am quite fanatical about defending the relevance of standard economic models in many situations. But there is another reason I am here. I am an economist, but I am also what we might call an evolution groupie. That is, I spend a great deal of time reading what evolutionary biologists write - not only the more popular volumes but the textbooks and, most recently, some of the professional articles. I have even tried to talk to some of the biologists, which in this age of narrow specialization is a major effort. My interest in evolution is partly a recreation; but it is also true that I find in evolutionary biology a useful vantage point from which to view my own specialty in a new perspective. In a way, the point is that both the parallels and the differences between economics and evolutionary biology help me at least to understand what I am doing when I do economics - to get, to be pompous about it, a new perspective on the epistemology of the two fields. I am sure that I am not unique either in my interest in biology or in my feeling that we economists have something to learn from it. Indeed, I am sure that many people in this room know far more about evolutionary theory than I do. But I may have one special distinction. Most economists who try to apply evolutionary concepts start from some deep dissatisfaction with economics as it is. I won't say that I am entirely happy with the state of economics. But let us be honest: I have done very well within the world of conventional economics. I have pushed the envelope, but not broken it, and have received very widespread acceptance for my ideas. What this means is that I may have more sympathy for standard economics than most of you. My criticisms are those of someone who loves the field and has seen that affection repaid. I don't know if that makes me morally better or worse than someone who criticizes from outside, but anyway it makes me different.

An Open Letter to the President, Congress, Governors, and State Legislatures We, the undersigned, call your attention to the attached report by Professor Jeffrey A. Miron, The Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition . The report shows that marijuana legalization replacing prohibition with a system of taxation and regulation would save $7.7 billion per year in state and federal expenditures on prohibition enforcement and produce tax revenues of at least $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like most consumer goods. If, however, marijuana were taxed similarly to alcohol or tobacco, it might generate as much as $6.2 billion annually. The fact that marijuana prohibition has these budgetary impacts does not by itself mean prohibition is bad policy. Existing evidence, however, suggests prohibition has minimal benefits and may itself cause substantial harm.
