New sticky thread. (self.badeconomics)

wumbotarian"My name is Prescott: look upon my models and despair."[M] が 投稿 - stickied post

I'm making a new sticky because the old one has 200+ comments and a new one won't drop for 2 days. Post stuff here.

I don't think this violates my RI mandate.

Oxi!

No matter what you think of the vote, it will be great for macro economists. Never a better time to get views on a blog post or to submit some freelance analysis.

The conspiracists never seem to come to the realization that economists profit from economic crisis not from being in the pocket of the Central Banksters but from new opportunities to write papers.

Seriously tho, this is a complete fucking disaster, both from an economic and a political (pro-European) point of view. It's the worst setback for Europe since the War.

Honestly, I'm just fine with sitting back and eating my popcorn at this point. All sympathy I had for Greeks disappeared a long time ago. Why can't they be like us Poles? It's simple: you be a good little pet to Germany, and in return you get hundreds of billions of euros and no complaints!

I don't see it triggering Grexit unless Greece itself decides to leave. The troika knows that Greece leaving will just give ammunition to UK Euroskeptics, and the UK leaving is actually feasible.

My own view is that austerity measures transformed a financial crisis into an economic one, and increasingly in the last two years a humanitarian one. I kind of agree with Krugman that slashing pensions again isn't a real solution.

I am not an economist though!

Yep, the economists I follow on Twitter are having a field day ripping into the Eurogroup.

Do you think we should start doing daily threads now? We seem to get enough comments.

Out of interest, what's the general opinion of Lawrence White, both here and among the wider profession?

Tomorrow I start my diff eq summer course. Anyone got any suggestions or anything?

If you're brushed up on your integral calculus (integration by parts, basic integration rules, etc) and don't make many silly math errors, diff eq isn't actually that scary.

Brush up on integrals. Learn to recognize integrals and their associated general solutions.

Diff Eq was one of my favorite math courses. Unfortunately I still don't get systems of differential equations but Laplace transforms were fun

Taking a my first computer science class, in Python. How do you prepare for the class in terms of studying and taking notes, seems foreign to me.

Fun fact: United Auto Workers negotiations that were recently finalized were secret to non-negotiators until they were put up to vote, and they could only vote up or down.
