Things I read and found interesting
I read a lot of stuff and I used to forward what I found interesting/fun to friends. Rather than emailing, I am posting the links here. In this “No Original Content” blog there is nothing of my own (at least for the moment), just a bunch of links (mostly in English but I will also try to add Italian/Spanish/French links).
I don’t think that I will express any views here (remember: “No Original Content”), but in case I were to express a view, this should be interpreted as my own view and not that of any institution I am or I have been affiliated with.
About me: My name is Ugo Panizza, my website is here.

I dont want to nitpick, but is this statement:
"Economists do not understand what drives productivity growth very well."
Consistent with this a few lines down?
"We need to identify those investments that stimulate demand in the short run and have a positive impact on productivity. These include renewable energy technologies..."
On another note, I dont understand what it is about the summers, stiglitzes, sachs, rogoffs (are there any others) who seem to emerge from their stints in Washington needing to absolve themselve. Why didnt they use their brilliance in the first place and not get sucked in?
