Wednesday, February 19, 2014. How Old Posts Can Become Popular Again. Suddenly, my post about why Ukraine should be divided between its anti-Russian and pro-Russian parts. Posted by stefankarlsson at 7:29 PM. In any case I also hope Ukraine can find a peaceful solution. I worry that EU member states are not helping by talking of sanctions against the government. It seems some of the protesters are hardly exemplary either. Ludwig von Mises Institute. The European Enterprise Institute. Option number 2: Whe...

Thursday, September 29, 2005. The headlines at CNN Money, there was a great decline in the number of jobless claims last week, supposedly indicating a pick-up in the economy after the Katrina shock. Yet if you look at the actual Department of Labor statistics. You can see that the insured unemployment rate rose 0.1%:point, to 2.2%, from 2.1% (It was 2.0% before Katrina). Posted by stefankarlsson at 4:44 PM. Wednesday, September 28, 2005. Today the "World Economic Forum" issued a report. See my LRC article.

Monday, October 24, 2005. Ben Bernanke New Fed Chairman. Ben Bernanke is appointed new Fed Chairman by Bush. Bernanke is highly inappropriate because his views on monetary policy (Which is what he now have been appointed to control) are anything but sound. Had he instead continued as CEA Chairman he might have done some good. Posted by stefankarlsson at 10:08 PM. Tax Relief is Not a Subsidy. Good editorial article today in Dagens Nyheter. They also point out that such a tax relief would in fact likely.

Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Ukraine Crisis Isn't Over. So now the so-called protestors have overthrown democratically elected President Yanukovich in what is in effect a coup. It is unclear what will happen, and how Russia and Yanukovich and his supporters will act, but this is almost certainly not the end of it. Indeed, how could it be the end? Posted by stefankarlsson at 8:00 AM. Yes, that is a possibility. I am an economist currently working in Sweden. I am an independent thinker, but generally le...

Tuesday, February 04, 2014. Perhaps not entirely fair, but not entirely unfair either, and at any rate funny. Posted by stefankarlsson at 6:47 PM. You got the militant Muslim right, but the militant Christian is wrong. Where have Christians shot anyone. As for militant atheists, think more about gulags, Stalin, Mao and 30 million starvings to death, and N. Korea. Ludwig von Mises Institute. The European Enterprise Institute.

Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Great cartoon about the deceptive ways of the Federal Reserve. In the Washington Post illustrating the deception from Fed officials that I discussed here. Thanks, B.K. Marcus. Posted by stefankarlsson at 5:40 PM. Was real GDP revised up or down? Today's revised GDP report. It illustrates the principles with which to analyze. On the one hand, the headline number, that is the volume measure was downwardly revised from 3.4% to 3.3%. Was that corporate profits surged to a new reco...
