As I mentioned in today's lecture, amidst the administrative and technological chaos, this blog serves to link what we look at in the lectures to the real world. I'm not the only lecturer that does this, and so I'll regularly post interesting and useful blog posts by other economists.
Simon Wren-Lewis lectures in Oxford, and writes a blog called Mainly Macro which is a treasure trove of well written and thought out contributions. He's written yesterday on the "B word", borrowing, and it's a nice response to those, often on the political right, who oppose any kind of suggestion of borrowing.
Well worth a read.
This blog accompanies the econ101ab Principles of Economics course given at the University of Birmingham. The lecturers for both parts of the course (101a, microeconomics and 101b, macroeconomics) will occasionally post here on matters related to lecture material. We hope to show the relevance of the concepts we are teaching at each stage of the course for helping understand how the world works...
