Wrap Up for June 2022

Does fiscal policy create better distributional effects?

Poor life prospects as a contributor to political violence.

Colorado sets an example for housing reform.

"Solving the Housing Crisis will Require Fighting Monopolies in Construction." Alex Tabarrok provides additional references and comments.

Shinzo Abe was good for Japan.

What happens when low income men lose their health insurance coverage?

"Friend-Shoring" isn't as desirable as it may seem.

Low income groups are more vulnerable to climate change.

The land rent associated with mobile home ownership, has destabilized. Even as the cost of mobile homes on these properties has skyrocketed. I would add that until better land use options are available, traditional housing (with its extensive maintenance costs) is still the only real ownership choice for the majority of us. Which in turn limits many lifestyle and social mobility options.

How long will the Fed continue to be the "only game in town?"

When it comes to inflation, energy is just part of the problem.

Which countries beckon to millionaires, and which countries are they leaving?

How does wealth just "disappear"?

Is state capacity still a viable option with higher interest rates?

Both sides could be getting it wrong, when it comes to global warming.

Supply factors continue to dominate contributors to inflation.

Four inflation mistakes made by the Fed.

Europe turns to new sources for natural gas.

Measurement has practical purposes, yet also underlies societal expectations.

Is a fast growing economy inflationary?

Divisions between red and blue states only continue to grow.

Noah Smith interviews Olivier Blanchard.

Which inflation expectations really count?

Healthcare companies outspent everyone else on lobbying. I would note they may have the most to lose in governmental support, once crowding out effects from additional oil costs start to set in. Especially since OPEC may not actually be capable of increased production.

"Job cuts are rolling in."
