Bloomberg offers up an interesting historical parallel to our current situation, in which stocks are soaring, but government debt yields practically nil. For the first time in seven decades, Treasury bills are paying no interest while stocks continue to appreciate -- a divergence in U.S. financial markets that might be perilous if Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke didn’t know all about...

James Hamilton points attention to the sharp, across the board rise in global commodity prices and questions the popular perception that weakening dollar has been the main contributing factor. He argues that the magnitude of movements in commodity prices greatly exceeds the size of changes in the exchange rate - since the start of this year oil prices have increased five times as much as the dollar...

When will high petroleum prices send output diving? BACK in the spring, James Hamilton provided the economics world with one of the more interesting results of the crisis and recession—that if you took a macroeconomic model and plugged in observed oil prices through the middle of 2008, you got a near perfect forecast for output in the third quarter of 2008, nevermind the financial crisis. It...

I will provide this link to give some history to my Readers, but it is relatively unimportant in the face of Congressional reluctance to actually impose realistic regulation upon a economic sector who fills the role of Paymaster within the scope of political campaign contributions. Here is a more detailed survey without being too Wonkish, though it only approaches a specific area of intent. My major...

You can find supposed Good News about the economy, though I still have serious reservations about the construct of the new information; I attempting to give the best framework of that data. Study James Hamilton’s estimates, and one finds a concentration of Autos and their Parts. Cash for Clunkers might have been legitimate Stimulus, though I still have serious doubts about the actual benefit...

Conferences have always bothered me, as they seek Excuse for past behavior, rather than true conduct of future policy; read this Post from James Hamilton. The capital adequacy statement only says that the Fed flooded the markets with Cash, the markets did not take the Bait, and Production did not return to normal; yet the Process is touted for the salvation from a Condition never realized, and possibly...

James Hamilton has written a great pithy piece on the possible causes of the recent deep recession. As a retired macroeconomist (I dropped out in 1988), I wonder how modern macro guys will figure out how to disentangle the possible explanations that he poses. What calibration exercise will count as a "test"? How will model builders nest the various possible explanations? We seem to have more...
