Distinguishing Home ‐Grown Inflation from Global Inflation
Alan ReynoldsEach country imagines inflation to be anational problem to be entirely blamed on national fiscal authorities or on each nation ' s central bank. Yet March CPI inflation averaged 8.8% for all 38 countries in theOECD, and 7.8% for the 27 EU countries.Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in theFRBSF Economic Letter, ask a narrower question: "Why is U.S. Inflation Higher Than in Other Countries?" They first begin by acknowledging that there have been some uniquely huge global events driving world pricesdownin 2020 (COVID-19 lockdowns causing long-term loss of productive capacity) and other po...

The Unintelligible Psaki ‐Biden Theory of Oil Prices
Alan ReynoldsJust as Congress was poised to ban imports of Russian oil, President Biden got the jump on them with an executive order. Despite the delay, it was the right thing to do as a national expression of moral outrage over Russian military atrocities.The White House repeatedly explained its two ‐week inaction by suggesting that U.S. gasoline prices depend on how much oil we buy from this one minor source of imports.In late FebruaryReuters reported, “As the White House developed the sanctions package… [officials] were concerned about the possible impacts of a loss of Russian oil supply at a time of rising...

Fear of a Gold Planet
Proposed nominees Stephen Moore and Herman Cain having dropped out of contention, discussion continues over the Trump administration ’s possible next nomination to the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. The views of the latest candidate under consideration by the administration, Judy Shelton, have revived a question that commentators raised earlier about Moore and Cain: Should favoring some kind of gold standard disqualify a nominee from occupying one of seven seats on the Board? Here let me disclose that I worked with Judy Shelton on the Atlas Economic Research Foundation’s Sound Money Project. But the argument t...

The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
August 04, 2022 Edition-----The war seems to grind on sadly and Pres. Biden is having a second round with COVID as unprecedented weather happens all over the US. It all feels rather like ‘the end of days’!In the UK we see an increasing chance of a third female PM being elected as the country seems to be struggling. We do need to remember however the UK remains a significant power with nuclear weapons and home-grown nuclear submarines!In OZ we have had last week working out how to progress the First Nations ‘Voice’ as we wrap up the 1st session of Parliament for the new Government. Comments welcome on how you think ...

End-of-Life Healthcare Sessions at ASBH 2017
Conclusion: Patients with LEP had significant differences and disparities in
end-of-life decision-making. Interventions to facilitate informed
decision-making for those with LEP is a crucial component of care for this
group.
THU 1:30 pm: “But She’ll Die if You Don’t!”: Understanding and
Communicating Risks at the End of Life (Janet Malek)
Clinicians sometimes decline to offer interventions even if their refusal will
result in an earlier death for their patients. For example, a nephrologist may
decide against initiating hemodialysis despite a patient’s rising creatinine
levels if dea...

Did Free Banking Stabilize Canadian NGDP?
About a month ago, a Facebook post drew my attention to an attempt, by Casey Pender of Prague ’sCEVRO Institute, to testmy thesis that free banking contributes to NGDP stability using statistical evidence from Canada, which had a relatively free banking system between 1867, the year of Canada’s confederation, and 1935, when the Bank of Canada was established.In “Some Odd Data on Free Banking in Canada, ” a blog post discussing his preliminary findings, Pender reports that he had hoped to be able to show that Canada, from 1867-1935, had a more stable NGDP percent change from year to year than the U.S. And I though...

Inflation Is Largely a Global Phenomenon
When economic journalists speculate about loominginflation risks in the U.S. or any other country, they implicitly assume that each country ’s inflation depends on that country’s fiscal or monetary policies, and perhaps the unemployment rate. YetTheEconomist for March 3rd–9th shows approximately 1 –2 percent inflation in the consumer prices index (CPI) for virtually all major economies. Inflation rates were surprisingly similar regardless of whether countries had budget deficits larger than ours (Japan and China) or big surpluses (Norway and Hong Kong), regardless of whether central banks experimented with“quant...

Must Rising Oil Prices Compel the Fed to Tighten More?
As crude oil prices recently approached $68 a barrel, aWall Street Journal writer concluded that “inflation fears got an added jolt this week as oil prices rose to a three-year high. ”Two otherWall Street Journal writers added that “If crude continues to move higher, it could begin to stifle economic growth.” They suggest that “higher consumer prices for gasoline and other energy products act like a tax, while pushing inflation higher and increasing pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates more aggressiv ely.” Such anxieties about $70 oil are obviously overwrought. Crude prices were usually ab...

The Two-Fold Intimidation of Dr Bornstein, as Orchestrated by Donald Trump, Apparently to Conceal Something About Trump ' s Medical History
DiscussionAs noted above, we have seen many cases in which health care professionals were pressured to violate their core values and ethical norms by outside parties, most often large health care organizations seeking financial gain.Now, in this new case, we see a single health care professional twice pressured to violate core values and ethical norms by a patient, a wealthy billionaire corporate CEO who became President of the United States. Thus we are now in a situation in which the President of the US, to whom all federal health care regulatory and law enforcement agencies at least nominally report, has shown con...

The Growing U.S. Trade Surplus in Services: Part Two
President Trump and others who are mistakenly troubled by trade deficits with specific countries should at least get the facts straight. To fret about trade deficits ingoods alone (ignoring services) is hopelessly old-fashioned in a world where the most exciting business and investment opportunities are typically in the service industries. U.S. businesses are famously outstanding in software and communications services, health and education services, food and lodging services, legal, financial, accounting and marketing services, and so on. Hollywood, Wall Street, Madison Avenue, Las Vegas and D.C.’s K-Street la...
