Imaginary Squabbles Part 3: Krugman and DeLong’s Changing Theories and Missing Facts
Alan Reynolds Responding to a student question after a recent Kansas State debate with Brad DeLong I posed a conceptual puzzle.  I asked students to ponder why textbooks treat Treasury sales of government bonds as a “stimulus” to demand (nominal GDP) in the same sense as Federal Reserve purchases of such bonds.  “Those are very different polices,” I noted; “Why should they have the same effect?”   The remark was intended to encourage students to probe more deeply into what such metaphors as “stimulating” or “jump starting” really mean, not to accept as dogma that fiscal and monetary poli...

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...

Imaginary Squabbles Part 2: Krugman and DeLong on Ireland
Alan Reynolds A short 2010 article of mine in Politico, which still annoys Paul Krugman and Brad DeLong, dealt with Ireland’s brief effort to restrain spending, which (while it lasted) was smarter than imposing uncompetitive tax rates as Greece had done.  Krugman ridiculed my Politico article in at least four columns.  He imagines I predicted a “boom” in Ireland, because I wrote in June 2010 that, “the Irish economy is showing encouraging signs of recovery.”  That the Irish economy was turning up at the time is undeniable. Although I did not yet have the benefit of real GDP data, Ireland’s GDP w...

Imaginary Squabbles Part 5: Comparing Krugman’s 2005 Housing Bubble Forecasts to Mine
Alan Reynolds New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has recycled another phony argument about something I wrote many years ago.  He begins by citing Matt O’Brien who found that Fed governor Janet Yellen in October 2005 was predicting there would be no great impact on the economy “were the house-price bubble to deflate.” O’Brien concludes that, “Back in 2005, she didn’t appreciate how much shadow banks relied on AAA-rated mortgage-backed-securities (MBS) as collateral to fund their day-to-day operations—or how much even this supposedly high-quality collateral could go bust if housing did....

Furman’s Folly: Nostalgia about 1973 and Nonsense about the Bottom 90 Percent
Alan Reynolds Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, set out to explain “middle-class economics” in the Wall Street Journal, March 11, in an earlier Vox blog and in a presentation to National Association of Business Economists (NABE), as well as the first chapter of the Economic Report of The President.  The intent is to make the recent economy look healthier (massaging 2.3-2.4 percent growth for 2013-14 into 2.7 percent), and to claim that “subpar” 2010-14 income gains for the middle class (generously defined as the bottom 90 percent) are not due to a subpar recovery but to something that h...

Alan Turing ' s brilliant essay
In 1950, Alan Turing wrote " Computing Machinery and Intelligence. " This one short paper, exploring what came to be called the Turing test, continues to influence research and thinking across multiple fields. Tyler Cowen and I have co-authored a new paper asking two questions. What does the Turing test really mean? And how many human beings (including Turing) could pass? Our premise is that some aspects of Turing ' s paper have not received sufficient attention: Turing ’s paper is rich and multi-faceted and we are not seeking to overturn all of the extant interpretations. We do wish to suggest that a potent and ind...

Will Congress Repeat the Worst Blunder of the First “Stimulus” Bill?
Alan ReynoldsA bipartisan Congressional group is eager borrow and spend another $900 billion on a new COVID-19 bill. Yet they appear determined to repeat the most wastefulpolitical stunt of the last “stimulus bill.”On December 17,The Wall Street Journal reported that “the package includes another round of direct payments to households,” which was recently added back into the mix after “The Trump administration [via Treasury Secretary Mnuchin] …proposed sending $600 checks. ”Borrowing money to send everyone a little check may sound clever to myopic politicians. But it is morally indefensible because ...

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...

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve Was Never Used Strategically
Alan ReynoldsPresident Biden plans to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) for a  million barrels a day for six months, describing this as “awartime bridge to increase oil supply until production ramps up later this year. ”This is only the second time that the SPR has been used for the purpose Congress intended in 1975 – to counteract temporary spikes in the global price of oil due to cartel extortion or foreign wars. The first time was during the Gulf War, on January 16, 1991, when President George H.W. Bush announced the SPR would immediately begin selling up to 2.5 million barrels a day. On the following d...

The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
February 10 2022 Edition ----- In the US we see another ISIS leader meeting a sticky end at the hands of US special forces while much of the North East has had dreadful freezing weather!  There have been wild moves in the US technology sector which are genuinely unprecedented!

In Australia ScoMO has had a dreadful time with unwanted texts as the Aged Care sector is in crisis – on his on admission.

Part II: THE IMITATION GAME meets HOW I CAME TO HATE MATH/ Comment J’ai Détesté Les Maths Moral Relativism vs Beneficence and Justice: Maths and Economics
HOW I CAME TO HATE MATH/ Comment J'ai Détesté Les Maths is a film Directed by Olivier Peyon and written along with Amandine Escoffier. It  is a documentary whose initial purpose seems hijacked by historical events. Its parallel to the fictional historical biopic thriller, THE IMITATION GAME, screened at the Mill Valley Film Festival 2014, need be made.  The MATH story, like in THE IMITATION GAME, begins lightly with young people who are awkward. Some of them, like Alan Turing,  grow into the lovely eccentricity that those who both love and understand maths often bear. Peyton’s film tours...
