IU Economics Forum

We had a very educational and quite often entertaining forum on Friday afternoon concerning the current economic crisis. Thanks goes out to Eric Leeper for organizing the forum.

All of the presenters at the forum have graciously allowed me to post their slides:

• Eric Leeper: Introduction
• Gregory F. Udell: "Should We Have Expected More from the Fed"
• George M. von Furstenberg: "Governance Effects of Current US Financial-Crisis Management: Executive Branch to the Rescue"
• Ellis W. Tallman and Elmus R. Wicker: "One More Observation in in 2008: Financial Crises in U.S. History"
• Bill Witte: "The Economic Situation and Outlook"
• Brian Peterson: "The Federal Reserve and the Credit Crisis: Non-Traditional Monetary Policy Responses"
• Eric Leeper: "Fiscal Policy Response: Unprecedented Stimulus"
