The John Bates Clark Medal goes to Roland Fryer

ON APRIL 24th the American Economic Association (AEA) announced that it would award this year's John Bates Clark Medal to Roland Fryer (pictured) of Harvard University. The professional body for academic economists gives out the prize each year to the "American economist under the age of forty who is judged to have made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge". This year's prize was given to Mr Fryer, a 37-year-old, for his innovative work on economics, education and racial inequality. As the AEA notes on its website:

His innovative and creative research contributions have deepened our understanding of the sources, magnitude, and persistence of U.S. racial inequality. He has made substantial progress in evaluating the policies that work and do not work to improve the educational outcomes and economic opportunities of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. His theoretical and empirical work on the “acting white” hypothesis of peer effects provides new insights into the difficulties of...Continue reading

It turns out that tax cuts for the job creators...don’t create very many jobs. By contrast, tax cuts for low- and moderate-income households can boost economic growth, according to a new study.

The economy doesn’t matter

AMERICA’S labour-force participation rate—the proportion of the population available to work—has been falling for years. The figure is now just 62.7%, the lowest level since 1977. The decline really sped up during the Great Recession, falling much faster than government wonks had predicted before the financial crisis hit (see first chart). How you interpret this trend has big implications for where American wages are going. So what is going on?

The obvious culprit for lower participation, of course, is the recession. As people lost their jobs and then struggled to find new ones, the argument goes, they decided to drop out of the labour force entirely. In other words, they no longer registered themselves as unemployed, or took early retirement,...Continue reading

Whose money is it anyway?

POLITICIANS promise stuff; voters count on the promises for their income. This bargain is at the heart of the democratic process but, of course, the problem is that such promises can only be funded at the expense of other members of the public.

Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies has an excellent column on this in today's Times (behind a paywall). In the British election, he points out that the parties are

promising to raise a lot of additional money in tax, while apparently not making anyone else worse off. The parties are even promising not to raise the main rates of any of the three taxes - income tax, VAT and national insurance - that account for two-thirds of all revenue

Instead, the parties are relying on what he rightly calls "made-up" numbers on tax avoidance, unspecified cuts to welfare, efficiency savings and the rest. The cuts always affect someone else, not the "hard-working families" that are invoked in every soundbite. As he concludes

This can't go on. If we want to reduce the deficit, or maintain public services, we will have to pay. Not someone else.

Quite right. A good deal of the problem lies in the way that promises are framed. Take pensions. Whether it is Social Security in America or national insurance in Britain, these have been sold as insurance...Continue reading

Politics as unusual

HERE is how politics is "supposed" to work. Party leaders make a whole bunch of promises (tax cuts/spending increases) before an election, only to discover, when in office, that a closer inspection of the books/global crisis/natural disaster (select the most plausible) prevents them from following through on their plans. Repeat the process often enough and you get voter cynicism.

Whose fault is this? We can blame ourselves as voters for believing unfunded promises. In practice, however, a lot of people don't swallow the propaganda. So perhaps an honest politician might have success by saying "Look, I don't control the global economy. If the Middle East blows up, or China crashes, or the Federal Reserve tightens policy too far, then the economy will slump no matter what I do. So I'll try not to be corrupt, make the trains run on time and not drive employment-creating businesses away, and maybe we'll be lucky." But no one has the chutzpah to adopt such a strategy.

In practice, however, something else has happened. As the appeal of the traditional centre-right and centre-left parties has declined, the new challengers that have emerged have taken a different tack. The fault, they say, is with the corrupt establishment and with "others" - foreigners, bankers, international creditors, religious minorities and the like.

Admittedly, that is an...Continue reading

A recovery begins?

AUSTRALIA'S economy had been rocked by the recent collapse in global commodity prices. Falling iron ore and coal prices have hit both the mining industry and government tax revenues particularly hard. This has revealed a weakness in the labour market that, until now, had been covered up by the commodity boom.

But the latest set of job figures released today suggests that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. An extra 37,700 jobs were created in March, more than twice what economists had expected. Following on from another robust jobs report in February, the surge in employment has reduced Australia's unemployment rate to 6.1% from the 12-year high of 6.4% recorded in January. That, coupled with the recent increase in job vacancies, has seeded hopes that the labour market may be finally recovering.

However, it is probably too soon to say that the economic slowdown has ended. Wages have...Continue reading

Britain's Mitterrand moment?

IN 1981, Francois Mitterrand was elected as the first Socialist President of the French Fifth Republic, on a platform of nationalisation, wealth taxes and a higher minimum wage. Two years later, after the franc was repeatedly devalued within the exchange rate mechanism, he changed course and adopted austerity. It was the first sign that left-wing parties were adopting some of the market-friendly policies of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Arguably it was also a sign that left-wing governments could be overpowered by international capital flows; flows that had been released with the end of the old Bretton Woods system. This was the era of the bond market vigilante.

The British election on May 7 looks likely to end up with a Labour minority government; a model for the FT by Populus gives Ed Miliband an 80% chance of being the next prime minister.

In contrast, three out of the five models suggest Labour can govern with the support of...Continue reading
