Rdan Pragmatic capitalist points us to thinking that
works for some. The strategy outlook at JP Morgan
is little changed over the last week despite some sobering news out of the labor department last Friday. The bad news on jobs is no longer a surprise to investors and history has ...

Robert Waldmann A specter is haunting Paul Krugman
-- it is the specter of apparently sophisticated forecasters

Robert Waldmann Can the Fed do any more
to stimulate the economy ? The question is back.
The answer is only by making credible promises about the fairly distant future. My view is that this means no. I review the issue after the jump. Long ago Paul Krugman proposed that the Bank of Japan ...

With all the talk of "Detroit," you would
think that Michigan would have lost the most employees,
as a percentage of same, on the year. After all, the scariest graph of the U.S. MSAs isn't scary for nothing. But the Regional and State Employment data is out for October (h/t CR ), and there's a ...

Suppose I make my monthly budget, and assume
I'm going to spend $600 for food. At the
end of the month, I discover that I only spent $520. I expected to take $80 out of savings that I now do not have to. My bank account is now $80 higher than I expected it to be at the end of the month. Is this ...
