I'm a now a PhD student in finance; the joint PhD program of Concordia, McGill, HEC and UQAM Universities in Montreal. Currently working on two similarly unrelated topics: one is the credit risk modelling and the other is the design of a pilot market economy for environment preservation- focused on the "dust" problem in the Middle East.

  • Macro Malpractice

    I agree. The institutional approach can help suggesting alternative solutions to such a predicament. I just want to add a theoretical part to that:

    We've already had models that deal with long-term effects of different shocks [core argument in the first part of the article], be it consumption, or any other macro-level variables. There has also been a parallel debate concerning the "heterogeneous" nature of such factors: for example, the increase to 3.7% in savings may well over-or under-represent the true increase in savings. Same for consumption. A successful link to the monetary policies, I guess, may yield better results- with more mature policy implications.

  • The Narrative Structure of Global Weakening

    That's true, I guess the narrative structure may exist in other types of crises as well, like- is there going to be a war or not. Or who is going to be elected. Or alike. I really
    like this idea.
