Via Mark Thoma, Robin Harding at the FT Money Supply blog reports on a speech given by Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa.

The first concern is two-fold: Mr Shirakawa’s first point is that loose monetary policy mitigates
A recent post of mine at MoneyWatch: Don't Expect Miracles from Monetary Policy, Maximum Utility: ...As I've said many times, I think the economy needs more help, particularly labor markets. But where will that help come from? Additional fiscal policy seems to be off the table due to worries about the deficit, worries I think are baseless, but I don't control the fiscal policy levers. That's the b
James Kwak has had enough of people trying to blame the financial crisis on government attempts to help poor people through the Community Reinvestment Act: Community Reinvestment Act Makes Bankers Stupid, According to AEI Research, by James Kwak: One might have hoped that one collateral benefit of the end of the election season would be the end of the attempt to pin the financial crisis on the Com

Tim Duy states the differences between Japan in the 1990s and the US today and what that means for monetary policy, and he follows up on earlier comments on Fed independence: Japan Again?, by Tim Duy: I understand the temptation to compare the current US situation to that of Japan in the 1990’s, as the combination of equity and property bubbles appears eerily familiar. Indeed, I would not disparag
Paul Krugman says we’re having the wrong discussion about foreign policy: Dealing With the Dragon, by Paul Krugman, Commentary, NY Times: ...Almost all the foreign policy talk in this presidential campaign has been motivated, one way or another, by 9/11 and the war in Iraq. Yet it’s a very good bet that the biggest foreign policy issues for the next president will involve the Far East rather than
Paul Krugman, looking back to today from March 2, 2008, analyzes the recent drop in U.S. stock prices and what it might mean for our economic future: The Big Meltdown, by Paul Krugman, Commentary, NY Times: The great market meltdown of 2007 began exactly a year ago, with a 9 percent fall in the Shanghai market, followed by a 416-point slide in the Dow.

The publication date, November 17, 2006, on this commentary from Milton Friedman appearing in the Wall Street Journal is correct.

Milton Friedman was not one of them. ... He died yesterday at the age of 94, but as the op-ed running near
With the discussions about what went wrong in Iraq heating up, this Economic Scene by Alan Kruger from before the war might be of interest. It develops a military production function, V=F(L,M,T,I), where V=victory, L=leadership, M=morale, T=troop levels, and I=intelligence. Surprisingly, once these factors are accounted for, technological advantage makes little difference. For reference, according
Paul Krugman on the economic and political consequences of the slumping housing market: Bursting Bubble Blues, by Paul Krugman, Housing Bust, Commentary, NY Times: Here are the five stages of housing grief: 1. Housing bubble? What housing bubble? “A national severe price distortion [in housing] seems most unlikely in the United States.” (Alan Greenspan, October 2004) 2. “There’s a little froth in
