To Students

Teaching and learning monetary economics in a time of crisis can quite exiting, and quite challenging too. New information, new research and new analysis change our field of study everyday. This blog is an instrument to keep track of these changes and link what we do in class with what is happening in the wide world. I will use the blog to point out things that I consider important and interesting (or just funny) - please contribute yourself, use it as a discussion platform, use it to exchange informations.


Just to Start

Ideally you should read the book - In the meantime you can watch the TV version of Niall Fergusson "The Ascent of Money" - history matters!

The data is for 2009 - a relatively quite year. This does not make monetary policy any easier - although monetary policy is not the main concern.
