I suspect that much of the motivation for John Cochrane to write this latest blast comes from his ongoing personal feud with Paul Krugman, generally acclaimed as the champion of "Keynesianism". Of course, the Wall Street Journal eats it up, since to most WSJ readers, "Keynesian" is a code-word for "commie" (thanks, Friedrich Hayek). The result of these two forces is an article which has a few good
Friday, May 02, 2014 Tyler Cowen's anti-Piketty crusade In the three weeks since April 9, Tyler Cowen has written at least 13 blog posts on Piketty, all but one of them negative. Here is a timeline: 4/9: Cowen links approvingly to a mildly negative Krugman review of Piketty. 4/10: Cowen reposts some Matt Rognlie comments that are critical of Piketty. 4/20: Cowen gives his advice on how to read
This is the old Noahpinion archive. Noahpinion continues at noahpinion.substack.com In my last post, I claimed that the main theoretical framework that people use to think about the Japanese stagnation - the mainstream Woodford New Keynesian model and its baby brother the Econ 102 AD-AS model - didn't apply, because prices couldn't be sticky for 20 years.

By far the most popular and dominant view of the way macroeconomies work is the monetarist view popularized by Milton Friedman and formalized in DSGE models by Mike Woodford, Greg Mankiw, Guillermo Calvo, Jordi Gali, and other "New Keynesians". This view is

Noahpinion continues at noahpinion.substack.com Diane Coyle has a blog post called "Classics for economists," and someone on Twitter requested that I do a companion piece called "Science fiction for economists", so here it is. Really, most science fiction is about economics. What makes most future visions interesting is not just the technical particulars of the

Although the show often had convoluted plotlines, it would somehow always end with Voltron (a super-powerful robot formed from five mechanical lions) facing off against a monster called a "Robeast". Voltron had plenty of weapons, but he would invariably strik

Bernanke just announced that the Fed will buy $40B of mortgage-backed securities every month until the economy improves. This is notable for two reasons. First, unconventional assets are being purchased rather than U.S. government bonds; this
