Economic Commentary

Deregulation, Money, and the Economy

Nothing complicates the life of an economist quite like institutional change. When institutions change, patterns of behavior change, and long-standing economic relationships may break down. It often takes time for new behavioral patterns to stabilize and hence for new relationships to emerge. This lag frustrates the economist, who often must rely on historical relationships as a basis for analysis.
