Video of the Day

by Calculated Risk on 9/13/2007 09:02:00 PM

NOTE: The video of the day (or so) won't be a post - it will just be at the bottom of the page. It's just for fun when I feel like updating it. People frequently send me funny videos, but I don't want to make them posts, so this gives me an outlet to put them on the blog. CR

At the bottom of the posts, I've started posting a video of the day. I'll try to change it every day or so. I'm trying to pick videos that are funny or related to housing and /or the economy. Please don't read too much into the videos I pick - and please feel free to suggest other videos.

Here were the first few couple I picked.

Professor Shiller speaks on housing at the Jackson Hole 2007 Symposium.
Students at the Columbia Business School Spring 2006 Follies make fun of their Dean and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to the Police's "Every Breath You Take".
Professor Krugman on housing from Sept 2006. Here is a quote from Dr. Krugman, in a "Paul Krugman responds to reader's comments" on the impact of mortgage equity extraction:
"Actually, a lot has been written on that, although mainly on blogs like calculatedrisk.blogspot.com, my go-to site on housing matters. So far the effect of the housing slump on consumer spending has been much less than I expected, although there are hints in the data that it's finally beginning to bite."
Paul Krugman, NY Times, July 2007


Best to all.
