Favorite Economics Blogs:

Econosseur Jason Debacker (Georgia) and I run this blog. Our posts focus on current
events in economics and economic research. However, one of the more
popular sections of our blog site is the economic jokes page.
Greg Mankiw   Mankiw's (Harvard) blog presents a rare combination of extremely
accessible posts that are readable for the lay person, Washington inside
experience, and academic credibility. His posts cover a wide range of
economic topics. Mankiw is an avowed Keynesian.
Econbrowser This is the blog of James Hamilton (UCSD) and Menzie Chinn (Wisconsin).
Their analysis is can be more technical than most economics blogs, but
they seem to regularly be ahead of the curve. This is a really good macro
blog.
WSJ Real Time
Economics
This is the Wall Street Journal's economics blog site. The analysis is very
good, and it often has more opinion than comes out in print.
Cafe Hayek This is the blog of two good George Mason economists, Russ Roberts and
Don Boudreaux. They provide insightful posts that come from a
libertarian ideology.
EconLog This is the blog of Bryan Caplan and Arnold Kling. Caplan is an Associate
Professor at George Mason University, and Kling is an econ PhD who
worked in finance. Their posts have more of a libertarian financial
markets focus.
Marginal Revolution   Two more George Mason economists, Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, run
this blog. Again, the posts focus mainly on libertarian economic issues,
and it is a bit more "earthy" than Cafe Hayek.
Vox This is a blog site for a number of good economists from the U.S. and
Europe. The topics vary widely, but have an international feel to them.
