Around the Traps 18/01/13

From now on I will on Friday, where possible, really on interesting articles around the blogosphere.

Here we go then:
  • Adam Posen looks at Japan and says it should rethink its stimulus. ( warning on the FT.)
  • Brad De Long looks at his high frequent reading list of blogs
  • Harry Clarke gets quite angry about climate change liars
  • Jeffrey Sachs thinks the WSJ needs a fact checker
  • Jonathon Portes looks at a 500 page EC report on Labour markets and finds 6 key lessons
  • Michael Froomkin believes  US incarceration rates are out of control
  • Jeffrey Frankel has a guest appearance at econbrowser
  • David Glasner writing a little more on low real interest rates
  • Simon Wren-Lewis on safe assets and government debt. Look at the previous article as well.
  • Noah Smith offers a few thoughts on depression ( mental not economic).
  • The marvellous David Altig looks at the US labour market
  • Sinclair Davidson finds new ways to define sovereign risk. He did the same thing with stagflation but got it horribly wrong.
  • Grog's Gamut looks at climate change and productivity. ( My boys tell me I had the last link on this one originally.) Read the drum article as well.
  • Kevin Bonham looks at Morgan face to face and excessive bouncing
  • Mark the Graph is on blog holiday. No good

    Come on. This is madness. How long are you going to delete my comments?

    Stop being an idiot all the time and grow up.

  2. Any comments should be on topic.

    However I will leave this here as you, or someone over at Catallaxy, has vastly boosted my audience but I doubt any of you will understand any of these excellent articles

  3. Oh thanks Homer.

    You know I like you, right?

    Hey Homes, try and make the comments section more accessible please. It's crap at the moment.

  4. It is a google blog. It is the same for all.

    I have never found a problem with any of the google blogs around.

    Make the comments easier to use, not harder. Stop ignoring the obvious point, you blockhead.

    1. The comments 'makeup' so to speak are the same here as on any other google blog.

      I haven't changed anything.

    Why on earth are you sending people to Grogs Gambit. The dude is a first rate idiot. He has no fucking idea what's going on, is tribal witchdoctor and the stupid thread looks like a kindergartener's bad scrawl.

    There are also other idiots on the list but this one is the worst offender.

    1. The site is Grog's Gamut.

      Firstly anymore swearing wil mean the comments are deleted.
      Secondly you need give reasons to support your opinions.

  7. No it's not... It's Grogs Gambit. He mispelt it. The guy is a multi-generational moocher and consequently has nothing to add to any discussion.

    1. This shows your problem.
      you make a number of assertions but never with any evidence.

      Both of his articles are quite good. Graphs tell a 1000 words.

      People who talk about about a productivity problem for example in Australia are simply wrong or write at Catallaxy!

  8. So, there is no productivity problem in Australia then, Homer. I guess you will have to update the ABS stats, you blockhead.

    1. you see if you do not observe the evidence you make wrong statements.

      Have a look at the drum article. As usual you live in another world
