Howard Ben Tré
No full textFor two decades Howard Ben Tré has been finding ways to bring together in innovative sculptural forms the sensuality of glass and the physicality of the casting process. Abstract and Modernist in classical twentieth-century style, Ben Tré\u27s work is nevertheless archetypal in nature.Although introduced to his signature material, glass, by members of the American Studio Glass Movement, Ben Tré quickly took his own path. In 1977 he pioneered three-dimensional casting, thereby revolutionizing the 5,000-year old tradition of working with glass and bringing this unlikely medium to the contemporary sculptor\u27s repertoire. This video surveys the broad scope of Howard Ben Tré\u27s career. Emmy Award-winning video maker George Adams documents the sculptures, drawings, works on paper, and environmental public projects. From perspectives collected over a four-year period, Adams investigates Ben Tré\u27s creative process in the studio, factory, and on site, incorporating thoughtful commentary by independent curator Mary Jane Jacob, philosopher Arthur Danto, and the Museum of Modern Art\u27s Director of Education, Patterson Sims, as well as Gay Ben Tré, the artist\u27s wife and collaborator.https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/alumniwork/1000/thumbnail.jp
Are forecasting models usable for policy analysis?
Full text linkIn this article, Christopher A. Sims argues the answer to his title is yes. Sims explains that any decisionmaking model must incorporate some identifying assumptions to enable it to forecast the effects of alternative decisions. He argues that although all identifying assumptions in econometric policymaking models are of uncertain validity, those incorporated in vector autoregression (VAR) forecasting models have the advantage of allowing their uncertainty to be measured. Sims concludes by demonstrating a method for identifying a small macroeconomic VAR model so that it can be used to analyze monetary policyForecasting ; Economic policy
Autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper speaks at the Michigan Writers Series
No full textIn an appearance at the Michigan State University Main Library, autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper talks about his career at the General Motors Truck and Bus Plant in Flint, Michigan and reads from various works, including his forward to the book "Working words: punching the clock and kicking out the jams" by M. L. Liebler and from his most famous work, "Rivethead", a cynical and humorous view of life in an auto plant. A question and answer session follows. Hamper is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series
Vector autoregression evidence on monetarism: another look at the robustness debate
Full text linkThis paper is a case study of the use of vector autoregression (VAR) models to test economic theories. It focuses on the work of Christopher A. Sims, who in 1980 found that relationships in economic data generated by a small VAR model were inconsistent with those implied by a simple form of monetarist theory. The paper describes the work of researchers who criticized Sims' results as not robust and Sims' response to these critics. The paper reexamines all of this work by estimating hundreds of variations of Sims' model. The paper concludes that both Sims and his critics are right: Sims' conclusion about monetarism is robust, but some of his other statistical results are not. In general, the paper concludes that VAR models can be used to test theories, but that any relationships they uncover in the data must be carefully checked for robustness.Vector autoregression ; Monetary theory
Martin Loughlin, Public Law and Political Theory
No full textIn this chapter, Ben Yong discusses Martin Loughlin’s Public Law and Political Theory. Drawing in part on conversation with the author, Yong explores the significance of a book that, despite interrogating the nature of public law as a discipline in a novel and methodologically important way, is often poorly understood
Alternative Explanations of the Money-Income Correlation
Full text linkStandard explanations of the bivariate correlation of money and income attribute this correlation to an inability of agents to discriminate in the short run between real and nominal sources of price shocks. This paper is an empirical comparison of the standard explanation with two alternatives: 1) the"credit view", which focuses on financial market imperfections rather than real-nominal confusion; and 2) the real business cycle approach, which argues that the money-income correlation reflects a passive response of money to income. The methodology, which is a variant of the Sims VAR approach, follows Blanchard and Watson (1984) in using an estimated, explicitly structural model to orthogonalize the VAR residuals. (This variant methodology, I argue, is the more appropriate for structural hypothesis testing.) The results suggest that the standard explanations of the money-income relation are largely, but perhaps not completely, displaced by the alternatives.
