About Me
- Randall Parker
- I am a Professor of Economics at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. My research focuses on macroeconomics and economic history in general and the economics of the Great Depression in particular. I have authored two books, Reflections on the Great Depression and The Economics of the Great Depression: A Twenty-First Century Look Back at the Economics of the Interwar Era and edited The Seminal Works of the Great Depression. I am currently working on my fourth book Interwar Historical Antecedents of Modern Inflation Targeting and I am the co-editor (with Robert Whaples) of The Handbook of Major Events in Economic History and The Handbook of Modern Economic History. I have also traveled the country giving speeches on the state of the macroeconomy and other economic issues to many trade and business associations. When I am not thinking about the economy I am either chasing ducks, handicapping horses or arranging a fine dining experience. Lastly, the opinions expressed on this blog are mine alone and do not reflect upon East Carolina University in any way or manner, in whole or in part, now and forever more under the canopy of heaven.

Thanks for sharing Such a wonderful post. I truly appreciate it.Imaging Job Responsibilities
Statistics show that people wait to the last month and a half of UI to start job hunting. UI should be 2 months maximum. OR we could just let the private market determine how important UI is to people. I suspect you might see savings rates go up a bit. Socialism doesn't work at all. How much poison do you want in your food? NONE!
You cannot boost aggregate demand by charging producers to support people who are out of work - producers costs go up, prices go up, demand eventually falls to where it was going to fall anyway (possibly further). We simply prolong the problems.
