Periodic Table of Finance Bloggers

Just saw this at Econbrowser discussing a ‘blogonomics’ panel held by the Bank of Canada, which is a pretty cool non-bank-like thing to be doing.
Apparently Stephen Gordon was there as well, so we’ll see what he has to say about it… Even when it comes to a small blogger panel held by the Bank of Canada they could only find one Canadian blogger worth inviting.
Three sighs for Canadian public economic discourse.
Menzie Chinn’s best observation is this: “Blogs were followed most closely by younger economists, while the more senior economists had, shall I say, little patience for following economics blogs.”
I’ve found old people to be generally enamoured with their own ability to do impressive technological things like owning an ipod or unpackaging a portable GPS, but at the same time anti-blogging. I guess because young people shouldn’t be speaking without being spoken to.
The table in this post is originally from Joshua Brown at The Reformed Broker, and it’s some pretty impressive work. Even if I didn’t have a job I don’t think I’d be this effective with my time.
Awesome.
