Forget the current government shutdown. Economists say it's the upcoming deb
t ceiling impasse that could plunge the nation into a recession.
About half of the 22 economists surveyed by CNNMoney say a recession will be
unavoidable if Congress fails to raise the nation's debt ceiling before the
Treasury runs out of cash later this month.
A couple more say a recession is possible depending on how far past the dead... 阅读全帖

来自主题: Military版 - Economist
On Dec. 2, 2010 (cover date Dec. 4) Economist magazine published a special
report on China's place in the world.
(1) Leaders: Global power l The Dangers of a Rising China; China and
America are bound to be rivals, but they do not have to be antagonists.
http://www.economist.com/node/17629709?story_id=17629709&CFID=156449107&CFTOKEN=36351422
My comment:
(a) "Leaders"--located at the first several pages of each issue--is the
equivalent of a summary in Economist.

是啊,呵呵, economist 算是经济时政类杂志里我觉得差不多最好了的吧。
杂志、报纸其实可以有自己的观点/value,但是一定要有一个 consistent 的观点/
value,这样从它里面你差不多能infer出事件的 value-neutral 的政治经济坐标,譬
如如果事件的 value-neutral 政治经济坐标是 (x,y),economist 差不多会是 (x+2,y+
1)。国内很多媒体的问题是,他们任何的观点往往是 (x+inf, y+inf),从他们的报道
里,很难得到太多有用的信息。
举个例子,economist 上会提及今年一月份突尼斯拿起新的自焚事件,而中国某些报系
只会聚焦在一年前引起突尼斯茉莉花革命的那次自焚,而对于茉莉花革命后的自焚只字
不提。
当然 economist 也会有英国人固有的傲慢,特别是对三哥,虽然三哥是世界最大的民

Should Economists Marry Economists?
by Mark Montgomery and Irene Powell
Grinnell College
It is increasingly common these days for
young economists to choose a spouse from among their
fellow graduate students. This is not surprising.
Romances bloom naturally in graduate school for the
same reason that lifelong friendships form in places
like Dunkirk and Iwo Jima. Is it a good idea for two
economists to marry? We, the authors, have logged
twelve years of marriage, nine of them as collea

I agree.
Don't you think in most of time,(especially when people are discussing hot
economic issues like crisis), non-economists' ideas are still from magzines,
news report, which are writen by economists? In this sense they don't make
much contribution to the pool of ideas.
Economists should care non-economists' ideas only when they are highly
relevant. For example, if an economist is going to do research on medical
insurance, definitely he'd communicate with doctors and patients. However,

Regarding the real-life economics, economists' opinions are no better than

it is kind of difficult to differentiate economic conservative from political

what political views he holds. after all, economists have pretty good

I agree. Among a million opinions of non-economists, there must be some very

find some gems. It's easier to read works of economists or researchers with
solid record in related fields (stat, math, sociology, psychology etc.) to
get new ideas.
Even within the circle of economists, we don't read every working paper out

Economists should not feel upset as this "upset or not" has never been

Non-economists' opinion should be respected as those opinions are still
rational based on all the information they have, at least that's what
economics models have been telling us for a while.
