Economics for dopes.or perhaps from dopes. You decide. Thursday, 22 March 2012. In Defense of HST. The Devil’s in the Details (The Micro Stuff). First off there is how the basic arguments against H.S.T. are posed, specifically the way in which opponents harp on the absolute. Rather than the relative.

The uselessness of helicopter drops | Matt Rognlie
https://mattrognlie.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/the-uselessness-of-helicopter-drops
New Keynesian versus New Monetarist effects. What do Rick Perry and pro sports teams have in common? October 26, 2011 · 6:00 am. The uselessness of helicopter drops. I’ve received some skeptical feedback on my last post about how money is just another form of debt. Particularly its implications for the effectiveness of a “helicopter drop”. This topic deserves more attention: for reasons I don’t understand, some very smart observers. What’s wrong with these claims? To be fair, depending on the Fed’s...

Conscience Warrior: Apple Split
http://www.consciencewarrior.com/2014/04/apple-split.html
Economic and Political Commentary. I'm trying to wrap my head around the "efficient-markets" meaning of the Apple split. I guess the entire notion of stock splits seems to me to be in violent conflict with EMH. It seems I'm not the only one. Who's scratched his head. Best captured the absurdity of the idea of drawing in more investors with a split:. Yet we still see that market actors believe splits have informational value. Is the answer that there are no impatient and grasping firms? That seems unlikel...

Economic and Political Commentary. Pheidippides Paul, and other Legends. Opposition to the cut in question overwhelms opposition to the program. The second obstacle, as identified by Nate Cohn.
