A very fine collection of free resources. Materials by, among many others, Bruce Hansen, Frank Diebold, John Cochrane, Peter Phillips, and Stock and Watson.
And by the same author, a list of econometrics video courses.
Sounds pretty good to me:
All favour halting uncontrolled migration, tackling crime, promoting traditional families and pausing hated EU laws aimed at forcing people to alter their lifestyles to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Assuming that "over 20" is fact--I question almost everything I read these days--I would like someone to explain to me what honest, legitimate reason there could be for so many companies to be needed by a few private individuals.
Charles Murray offers a very concise answer.
Certainly not emphasized in the mainstream media.
The top 100 private schools enroll around 500,000 students, while the remaining 2,600 four-year schools enroll about 10.5 million students. For the latter group of schools, market tuition, excluding room and board, is about $15,000 a year. If we add $10,000 for room and board (more in cities, a little less in small towns), we can see that 96% of American college students pay $25,000 annually for tuition and housing. Right now, with some variation here and there, that is what a four-year college degree costs.
This simple fact is nearly invisible, however, because college prices are distorted by a system that deliberately lists tuition levels much higher than what students pay.
Cost isn't the only widespread misperception: except for about 100 "top" schools, acceptance rates are probably far higher than people suspect. See AcceptanceRate.com or "College Acceptance Rates for 150 Popular U.S. Schools" for details.
Simply terrible. But the good news is that sensible people are starting to fight back.
Some information I hadn't had before.
I don't expect to ever be in NYC, but if I am, mark me down for a visit to Sticky Fingers.
Leo, with a reported net work of $600 million--heck his wife is supposedly worth $20 million--is found shopping alone, undisguised, in a Miami Publix. (I don't expect this to last, but for now Leo is a man of the people.)
Scorsese in a walk.
