Green shoots

An economic curmudgeon sez:

There seem to be some green shoots in the most recent economic data. The recovery has a way to go but it seems to be gaining strength.


But, a sack of onions will also grow green shoots if you forget about them for long enough.

Hello world (yet again)

Hi, I'm Chris, and I'm an economist living in Kiel, Germany.

Check here for irregular doses of economic commentary.  You can find my regular research site at http://sites.google.com/site/chrisreicher/ where you'll find my work on macroeconomics.  My research at the moment covers wage formation over the cycle, the role of sticky human capital at the macro level, and fiscal policy.

I figured that it was finally time to start this site instead of trolling everyone else's sites.  I tried this for a short while in grad school but never really kept it up.  Take 2.
