How to get reliable background information
LIQUIDITY CRISIS
Many seem to have difficulties to understand what really happened and why it did happen. Even some of the top people in macro needed help to grasp what is currently going on. This website is set up to provide some information and some helpful links to get a better grasp of recent events.
If you are keen on reliable up to date analysis, I recommend my favourite blog sites:- Calculated Risk
- Econbrowser - Menzie Chinn and James Hamilton
- The Economist
- Financial Times (FT)
- I recommend in particular reading Martin Wolf's blog with fascinating comments from lots of sedulous colleagues.
There, you can also find excellent up to date contributions- just look at my comment "Beitrag zur Liquiditätskrise", FAZ vom 16.8.07
