KRUGMAN’S LIST OF WEBSITES
Paul Krugman won the 2008 Nobel Prize for Economics. What web resources on economics does he find useful? Here’s a list:
Asia crisis homepage : Nouriel Roubini maintains this amazing site. Follow not just the events but the big intellectual debates more or less in real time.
Brad De Long's home page : A great set of readings and links; check out in particular his book-in-progress on the economic history of the century.
Network externalities : Nicholas Economides maintains this site, which is the best reference for the real issues (as opposed to the bogus ones) surrounding Microsoft and all that.
Foreign labor statistics home page : For those who have tired of fact-free discussions of the global economy, here's a great site for data - especially on wages and per capita incomes.
Samuel Brittan's website : The dean of economic commentators, as sharp as ever. A great addition to the web.
Meghbarta : I just learned about this site via email: a Bangladeshi webzine. Read it for a genuine Third World take on issues like child labor and immigration - a powerful corrective to the self-righteousness of First World NGOs.
