Greg Mankiw’s Blog – although some posts pertain to his EC10 students, this Harvard econ professor, textbook author, and former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers for President Bush posts some very interesting information, with an economics comic every now and then.
Marginal Revolution – this frequently updated blog is written by two professors of econ at George Mason University, Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok. A wide range of topics are covered, so there is something for anyone interested in economics.
The Sports Economist – this blog is run by a group of economists and scholars. While posts come fairly infrequently, they are very interesting and insightful.
Tim Harford – this RSS feed is a compilation of Harford’s work that is published in various publications such as the Financial Times. Harford is a economics columnist and has a Masters in Economics from Oxford University.
The Becker-Posner Blog – two great thinkers from the University of Chicago, Gary Becker and Richard Posner, offer their own opinions similar topics each week.
Freakonomics Blog – blog founded by the writers of Freakonomics. IMHO, I am starting to like this blog less and less because it is losing its focus. There are less and less posts by Dubner and Levitt, and now a whole host of other writers are posting. While there is some good information here, I liked the blog better 2 years ago than I do today.
Daily Chart – The Economist – usually interesting and relevant charts that help tell the story of a major about economic issue.
Honorable Mention…
The Curious Capitalist, Economists Do It With Models
Where is Krugman?
ReplyDeleteI guess that's the conscience of a conservative speaking (well, I am on some issues.) And his ranting can exhaust me times. Not to discredit all of his ideas... he is on my twitter feed.
ReplyDeleteI am liberal, but I still read Mankiw, Sumner, Taylor, Becker, and the libertarians. You should definitely read Krugman and Yglesias on Econ. If you skip the political posts, you'll be fine.
