The chickens have come home to roost
by Robert Lawrence, guest blogger Although we call the big three automobile companies they have basically specialized in building trucks. This left them utterly unable to respond when high gas prices shifted the market towards hybrids and more fuel efficient cars. One reason is that Americans l...
If you can afford the payment, consider a 15 year fixed mortgage, which can set a realistic timetable for eventually paying off the loan, while saving thousands on interest payments, compared to a 30 year term.

The subprime mortgage crisis for dummies
Well, that includes me too. Here is an excellent primer from Stephen Cecchetti's on the crisis and the mechanics of how the Fed and the ECB have intervened. And why did the crisis happen when it did? It is natural to ask whether there is some specific reason for these events to occur when they...
Actually, an American company that has embraced efficient cars is Ford. Their efficient cars are getting 40 mpg on the freeway.

It looks like a lot of people who could not afford home loans received them regardless and as a result now many owe more than their homes are worth.

DARRELL WALTRIP HONDA/SUBARU/VOLVO HOLDS BOOK DRIVE
Darrell Waltrip Honda/Subaru/Volvo recently held a Children’s Book Drive through their service department where customers donated children’s books in exchange for discounted oil changes. The books were then donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee for use in their site-based me...
I am not sure why industrial policy can't be influenced by lobbyists; it could be because of the fact that it's backed up by big business.

Should industrial policy be fit for polite company?
You read the title, and you say "here he goes again." OK, I admit it. I have been a bit obsessed with industrial policy lately. But there is a reason. I have been writing another paper on the subject, as an input to the work of the World Bank's Commission on Growth and Development. The Commissio...

The next stage of the crisis
One can make a decent argument that the financial crisis has bottomed out in the advanced countries (with the real-economy consequences still to come of course). But it is barely starting in the emerging markets, and it could get much, much worse. Some of these economies are hurt by (now) dec...
