		03/03/97 JANET YELLEN: AN ECONOMIST WHO EXPLAINS IT ALL ^Votes:0 View items related to this story JANET YELLEN: AN ECONOMIST WHO EXPLAINS IT ALL New CEA Chair Yellen has a knack for demystifying data When Janet L. Yellen was a graduate student in economics at Yale University, classmates quickly figured out that the best way to decipher Professor James Tobin's lectures was to borrow her notes. And long after Yellen received her PhD in 1971, the Yellen Notes--as they became known--served as the unofficial textbook for generations of graduate students. ''She has a genius for expressing complicated arguments simply and clearly,'' says Nobel winner Tobin. Yellen's talent for penetrating arcane issues has served her well--as an economics professor at the University of California at Berkeley and as a Federal Reserve Board governor. Now, those synthesizing skil Read More Go to Site

		Brad Cox, Ph.D. ^Votes:0 MyBank JCO JWAA Java+ ALE Academia Mideast Cox Academia Social Construction Bionomics Economics Case Studies The Use of Knowledge in Society by Freidrich Hayek; Reprinted from the American Economic Review, XXXV, No. 4; September, 1945, 519-30. What is the problem we wish to solve when we try to construct a rational economic order? On certain familiar assumptions the answer is simple enough. If we possess all the relevant information, if we can start out from a given system of preferences, and if we command complete knowledge of available means, the problem which remains is purely one of logic. That is, the answer to the question of what is the best use of the available means is implicit in our assumptions. The conditions which the solution of this optimum problem must satisfy have been ful Read More Go to Site

Scott Dr. Carole E. Scott is a Professor of Economics at the State University of West Georgia and Editor of Business Quest. Suggested way to use linked text "Conventional thinking passes on the notion of ideal states, static equilibrium systems, and linear dynamics and continuous functions as if everything worth knowing about science had been discovered. The implication is that if students learn this catechism, then real cases can be addressed by approximation to the ideal. The fact is, of course, that physical systems are real, not ideal, and many of the most interesting systems are discontinuous rather than continuous, nonlinear, rather Read More Go to Site
