TODAY'S recommended economics writing:
• Recruiting intensity during and after the Great Recession (Steven Davis, R. Jason Faberman, John Haltiwanger)
• Why is unemployment duration so long? (Rob Valletta and Katherine Kuang)
• Nominal stability and financial globalization (Michael Devereux, Ozge Senay, and Alan Sutherland)
• The empirics of firm heterogeneity and international trade (Andrew Bernard, J. Bradford Jensen, Stephen Redding, and Peter Schott)
• Housing market and current account imbalances in the international economy (Maria Teresa Punzi)
• Real sector imbalances and the Great Recession (Mark Setterfield)
In this blog, our correspondents consider the fluctuations in the world economy and the policies intended to produce more booms than busts. Adam Smith argued that in a free exchange both parties benefit, and this blog's aim is to encourage a free exchange of views on economic matters.
