Economic Blogs To Follow

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Blogging, Economy

The Boston Globe compiles a list, and I already had Marginal Revolution, The Big Picture and Calculated Risk in my Google Reader, so that certainly felt gratifying.

The Big Picture
A must-visit for stock market watchers, but equally good at deciphering (and dismantling) government and private-sector statistics.

Brad Setser’s Follow the Money
Wonkish and smart, operated by an economist at the Council on Foreign Relations. Need to know more about China’s subsidization of American borrowing? Look no further.

Calculated Risk
The collected posts of mortgage insider Doris “Tanta” Dungey are available, along with cutting commentary on the collapse of the housing market.

Credit Slips
Seven academics blog on “all things about credit and bankruptcy.” Covers an impressive range of issues: not only plain vanilla Chapter 11, but derivatives, capital requirements, and the fate of GM.

Economist’s View
University of Oregon’s Mark Thoma is thoughtful and wide-ranging. An excellent place to begin.

Marginal Revolution
Popular blog operated by Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, two libertarian economists at George Mason University. Posts on economics mingle with an idiosyncratic mix of ruminations on art, literature, and culture.

Naked Capitalism
Run by Yves Smith, a financial industry insider who combines biting sarcasm with extensive commentary on the crisis.

Nouriel Roubini’s Global Econo-Monitor
Roubini, an economist at NYU famous for predicting much of the current crisis, offers up grim assessments of the financial system.

And of course there’s always Paul Krugman and Greg Mankiw.

Question for the crowd: do you have an economics blog you follow that isn’t listed here? If so, please share the URL in the comment section along with a brief description about what they cover.
