Miles's Presentation at the Federal Reserve Board on May 14, 2012 (pptx)
Here is a download of the Powerpoint file for the presentation I gave at the Federal Reserve Board on May 14, 2012, as recounted in my second post “Getting the Biggest Bang for the Buck in Fiscal Policy.” It had an element of discussing Stefan Nagel’s longer presentation immediately before, a presentation based in part on his paper with Ulrike Malmendier “Depression Babies: Do Macroeconomic Experiences Affect Risk-Taking,” but ranges beyond that to a wider discussion. My most important idea in this presentation is Federal Lines of Credit (FLOC’s) as a way to provide fiscal stimulus without adding much to the national debt–an idea laid out in full detail in my academic paper about Federal Lines of Credit: “Getting the Biggest Bang for the Buck in Fiscal Policy.” As academic papers go, this one is quite accessible to non-economists.
