Inclusive growth

End of the week – and a fresh serving of interesting links from economist bloggers and blogging economists.

1.  Joe Weisenthal from the Business Insider tells us how Ben Bernanke murdered the gold standard – and good riddance too!

2.  Nice infographics from Turbotax on the history of taxes in the US.

3.  Econbrowser discusses the prospects of the Eurozone crisis.

4.  Michael Sandel talks about market thinking from an unusual point of view. Quite illuminating, in a way.

5.  The Free Exchange blog explains (or tries to explain) several of America’s macro puzzles. As usual, excellent read.

6.  Noahpinion talks about an interesting model of asset bubbles.

7.  A very nice piece on heterogeneity from the Minneapolis Fed.

8.  Some stabs in the back of libertarianism from Noahpinion again. Couldn’t agree more, really.

9.  Witty counterfactual from our old friend, Worthwhile Canadian Initiative.

10. And from him again, something useful for those who like me teaches macro – problems with teaching SRAS shocks.

The “Livability Puzzle” of the Georgian Countryside
In a recent ISET Economist blog post, Luc Leruth explores the notion of a spatial fracture in Georgia. He wonders whether people will become accustomed to working remotely, with the COVID crisis having given them this fresh opportunity. If so, this could help decrease the strain on Tbilisi infrastructure by slowing down migration to the capital. Will COVID, unexpectedly, convince people to continue working remotely and settle outside Tbilisi in the countryside?

A Georgian Woman’s Burden: How Pandemic Affected Distribution of Household Work Between Men and Women, And Why It Matters
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives and perceptions in many important ways: the value we put on face-to-face interactions, the importance of personal space, communication with loved ones, and much more. Some of these perceptions and social changes may actually outlive the pandemic.

COVID and the City – A Spatial Fracture in Georgia?
The COVID pandemic raises a vast number of questions for economists, though researchers have mostly focused on advanced economies and on the economic ‘scarring’ that the virus has inflicted. Not all, however, as a few economists have been interested in the likely evolution of cities after the pandemic. They observe that some cities, in particular travel hubs, have been epidemic hotspots, while many others, usually smaller, have been reasonably spared. More rural areas have also been less affected, although with strong variation across regions.
