As Umer mentioned in the post below, we’re done with the term.  Our class has had a pretty inconvenient schedule (class on the 4th of July, class the day after New Years, etc.) but I am glad that we were able to finish up the term before the year end holiday season.

It sounded like many […]

Ponzi Scheme and Macroeconomics

December 18th, 2008 by RVD · 1 Comment

Bernard Madoff is making headlines because he is the most recent NY investor to get caught pulling a ponzi scheme.  Some estimates say that his losses are estimated at $50 billion.  That’s right, 50 BILLION dollars, not million.  That’s a lot of money.  Eventually, he ran out of investors and got caught when people tried […]

December 8th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

Check out the new Wharton promotional video.  It was created when we were in Philadelphia back in September.  I think they did a pretty good job promoting the program.  Good work to Ben, Rangesh, and everyone else.

Yes, we’re in a recession

December 1st, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

Well, NBER finally made the announcement today.  We’re in a recession and it officially started last year (December 2007).  I did write about it here.  My guess is that they didn’t announce it earlier because it was too close to the election.
