Restore Medicaid to Its Former Self Quickly

January 15, 2021 by run75441

Me – Talk: Recent article on Health Affairs I tapped into and decided to present here at AB. The topic? As expressed in the title, return Medicaid to its former self and improved upon by the new Biden Administration. I also have been working on additional posts touching upon the history of the opioid epidemic […] The post Restore Medicaid to Its Former Self Quickly appeared first on Angry Bear. [Read More...]

FDI and the Pandemic

January 15, 2021 by Dan Crawford

by Joseph Joyce FDI and the Pandemic The ;fluctuations in portfolio capital flows to emerging markets ;over the past year have been well documented. But foreign direct investment (FDI) has also plunged in those countries as well as in the advanced economies. Moreover, FDI faces more long-term challenges than other forms of capital flows. In October the ;Organization […] The post FDI and the Pandemic appeared first on Angry Bear. [Read More...]

Sunak and most Tory MPs do not understand the economics/health trade-off, and many people will die as a result

January 14, 2021 by Mainly Macro

It is well known and generally accepted that despite warnings from China, Italy and elsewhere, the UK government were late in imposing a lockdown that reversed the march of the virus . That mistake cost tens of thousands of lives, and a severe hit to national output. You might have thought that this colossal error would have made the government fear the virus. Surely mistakes would not be repeated. But as Harvard epidemiology professor William Hanage notes, having not learnt the lessons from its neighbours its now failing to learn the lessons from itself. The Prime Minister, despite getting the virus in a life threatening way himself, is predisposed to tell good news stories, and so was too eager to relax the lockdown. Sunak egged him on, thinking… [Read More...]

Covid related deaths to accelerate

January 14, 2021 by Dan Crawford

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a dire warning about what is to come for the COVID-19 pandemic, according to its latest ensemble projections. The agency believes that as many as 92,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 in the next three weeks despite the rollout of the vaccine. This represents a 25% increase in total COVID-related […] The post Covid related deaths to accelerate appeared first on Angry Bear. [Read More...]

Why do some find the economics/health trade-off so hard to get? Because it’s like the Phillips curve.

January 14, 2021 by Mainly Macro

The distinction between the short run and long run traditional Phillips curve (not the New Keynesian variety) is so ingrained in economists that it seems obvious to us. We sometimes forget that it took many years for policymakers to understand it. I think something similar is happening with the economics/health trade-off in this pandemic. There is undoubtedly a short term trade-off between imposing greater restrictions (in extremis, lockdowns) to improve health outcomes (a good) and the negative effect that has on the economy (a bad). In much the same way as there is generally a short term trade off between expanding the economy to reduce unemployment (a good) and getting higher inflation (a bad). But in both cases that is not the end of … [Read More...]

Fiscal policy during and after the coronavirus pandemic

January 13, 2021 by Mainly Macro

This post was partly inspired by this recent seminar, but also by thisexcellent paper from The Resolution Foundation. Apologies for the length, but there is a lot to cover. This post is in five parts. The first looks at how our understanding of fiscal policy has evolved over the last decade or so. It is an essential background to how fiscal policy should be employed during the pandemic. The second looks at fiscal policy support during the pandemic. The third looks at what could be quite a short period between when the pandemic is effectively over as a result of mass vaccination, and when the economy has fully recovered. The fourth asks whether, once the economic recovery is complete, we should attempt to gradually reduce the debt… [Read More...]

Impeachment, again

January 13, 2021 by Eric Kramer

COVID, the US election and media balance

January 13, 2021 by Mainly Macro

I want to start with my last post. It contrasted a minority of countries that were good, were not too bad and the majority that were terrible at handling the pandemic. What surprised me was how willing people were to believe that each of the good countries had some special attribute that explained their superior performance, rather than accept the more obvious explanation that they had more practice at handling pandemics, or just had better governance. These countries that have handled the pandemic well knew that you needed a good TTI operation, you needed to keep case numbers low, you needed strong border control and in most cases that if you lose control of case numbers you lock down quickly and hard. The UK has failed on… [Read More...]

Trump tries to incite a putsch, and his UK cheerleaders reveal their own contempt for democracy

January 11, 2021 by Mainly Macro

It appears as if the Facebook ban on referencing this blog has been lifted. Many thanks to all those who complained to Facebook. I doubt I will ever know who persuaded them to ban it. Would be democratic dictators, elected heads of state who want to ensure they can never lose an election, should know the first rule to staying in power. It is to control a sufficient amount of the media. Convincing your faithful that the mainstream media is fake news is not enough. What that sufficient amount is will depend on many factors, including the voting system for President. It may be, for example, that given the advantagesa united right wing socially conservative party has in the UK, control of a majority of newspapers and … [Read More...]

What is scary is that he actually believes the Marxist filth that comes out of his pie hole. As Brett Stephens has said, the young people who support him are too young to remember what socialism did. The older folks who support him are too stupid to understand what it does.”Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston ChurchillCount me out.
