Welcome

Welcome to the learning community designed and managed by Ms. Rita Callahan, instuctor of economics and mathematics. Most of you are current or former students from my classes. I trust you will enjoy this attempt to connect our studies to the real world. From time to time I will make observations on my experiences and things I read. I hope you will comment and add your observations as well.


There is much to learn form others, especially those whose experiences may differ from our own. As I mention elsewhere in this blog, this is my attempt to incorporate 21st century learning formats into the educational experience of my students. Perhaps this will invite some interesting discussions.

Peter Diamond on fiscal stimulus

I just watched a video posted on Professor MAnkiw's blog. This distinguished labor economist addresses his failed nomination to the Federal Reserve and the need for both monetary and fiscal stimulus for recovery in today's economy.

This is a must view for all students of macroeconomics and all citizens concerned with unemployment.
