'''Paul Robin Krugman''' ({{pron-en|ˈkɹuɡmən}}; born February 28, 1953) is an [[United States|American]] [[economist]], [[columnist]], [[author]], and [[intellectual]]. He is professor of economics and international affairs at [[Princeton University]], and is also a columnist for ''[[The New York Times]]'', writing a [[blog]] and a twice-weekly [[op-ed]] column for the newspaper since 2000. |
|||
Krugman is well known in academia for his work in trade theory and for his textbook explanations of [[currency crisis|currency crises]] and [[New Trade Theory]]. His best known work provides a model in which firms and countries produce and trade because of [[economies of scale]]. He was a critic of the "[[New Economy]]" of the late 1990s. Krugman also criticized the [[fixed exchange rate]]s in [[East Asia|East]] and [[Southeast Asia]], and [[Thailand]]'s economic policies before the [[1997 East Asian financial crisis]]. Just before the 1998 [[Russian financial crisis]], he also criticized investors such as [[Long-Term Capital Management]] whose profits depended on the maintenance of fixed exchange rates. Krugman is generally considered a [[Neo-Keynesian Economics|neo-Keynesian]] economist,<ref>''[[The New York Times]]'', [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/11/education/11economics.html "In Economics Departments, a Growing Will to Debate Fundamental Assumptions"]. Retrieved July 11, 2007.</ref> with his views outlined in his books such as ''Peddling Prosperity''. Krugman's ''International Economics: Theory and Policy'' (currently in its eighth edition) is a standard [[textbook]] on international economics without [[calculus]]. In 1991 he was awarded the [[John Bates Clark Medal]] by the [[American Economic Association]]. According to [[Research Papers in Economics|IDEAS/RePEc]], he is among the [http://ideas.repec.org/top/top.person.all.html 50 most influential economists] in the world today. In 2008, we won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. |
|||
Krugman is generally considered a political [[Social liberalism|liberal]] or [[Progressivism|progressive]], and is an ardent critic of the [[George W. Bush administration]] and its foreign and domestic policy. Unlike many economic [[Pundit (politics)|pundits]], he is also regarded as an important scholarly contributor by his peers.<ref name="Clark"/><ref name="Prince"/> He has written over 200 scholarly papers and 20 books—some academic, and some written for the layperson.<ref>''[[The New York Times]]'', [http://www.nytimes.com/ref/opinion/KRUGMAN-BIO.html "Columnist Biography: Paul Krugman"].

==Biography== |
|||
Krugman was born into a Jewish family and grew up on [[Long Island]], and majored in economics (though his initial interest was in history) as an undergraduate at [[Yale University]]. He earned a [[Ph.D.]] from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] in 1977 and taught at [[Yale University|Yale]], [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]], [[UC Berkeley]], the [[London School of Economics]], and [[Stanford University]] before joining the faculty of [[Princeton University]], where he has been since 2000. He is married to [[Robin Wells (professor)|Robin Wells]], a fellow professor at Princeton, his second marriage;<ref>Paul Krugman, [http://www.pkarchive.org/personal/Strangelove.html "Your questions answered"], blog, January 10, 2003, retrieved December 19, 2007</ref> he has no children from either.<ref>Paul Krugman, [http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/19/about-my-son/"About my son", ''New York Times'' blog, December 19, 2007</ref> From 1982 to 1983, he spent a year working at the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] [[White House]] as a staff member of the [[Council of Economic Advisers]]. He is also a member of the international economic body, the [[Group of Thirty]]. |

When [[Bill Clinton]] came into office in 1993, some believe that he considered Krugman for a leading post; Krugman says he was flown out for a meeting in Arkansas. ''Newsweek'' reported in 1996 that "Krugman's outspokenness [was] the main reason the Clinton administration didn't offer him a job."{{Fact|date=September 2008}} Krugman says he would not have been interested in such a job; he told ''Newsweek'', "I'm temperamentally unsuited for that kind of role. You have to be very good at people skills, biting your tongue when people say silly things."<ref>PMichael Hirsch, "The Great Debunker," [http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/Economists/paulkrugman.html, ''Newsweek'' March 4, 1996, pp. 40-41, "The Great Debunker" by Michael Hirsch </ref> Instead he continued to write journalism for wider audiences, first for ''[[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]]'' and ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'', later for ''[[The Harvard Business Review]]'', ''[[Foreign Policy (magazine)|Foreign Policy]]'', ''[[The Economist]]'', ''[[Harper's Magazine|Harper's]]'', and ''[[Washington Monthly]]''. Krugman said that to answer what he called Pop Internationalism, "I would have to write essays for non-economists that were clear, effective, and entertaining."{{Fact|date=September 2008}} |

Saw your note on my talk page - I have been out of the country for a couple of days. My comment about "not helping yourself" was a very simple way of saying that I believed the other party had given themselves enough rope now, the case/point had been made, we're heading to closure so there was no need to continue the argument, as that's when it starts making you look bad :-) <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Bwilkins|<font style="color:#ffffff;background:black;">'''BMW'''</font>]][[User talk:Bwilkins#top|<font style="color:#000000;background:white;">(drive)</font>]]</span></small> 10:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC) |

In the early 1990s, he helped popularize the argument made by [[Laurence Lau (economist)|Laurence Lau]] and [[Alwyn Young]], among others, that the growth of economies in East Asia was not the result of new and original economic models, but rather increased capital and labor inputs, which did not result in an increase in [[total factor productivity]]. His prediction was that future economic growth in East Asia would slow as it became more difficult to generate economic growth from increasing inputs. |

In the 1990s, Krugman's focus was on what can be described as policy economics, which he attempted to explain to the general audience in such works as ''Peddling Prosperity'' and columns attacking what he described as "policy entrepreneurs" who were focused single-mindedly on particular solutions, which they proposed as solving every conceivable crisis. He was critical of industrial policy (an approach Clinton later dropped under the influence of Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers) and argued in favor of free trade. (He writes on p. xxvi of his book ''The Great Unraveling'' that "I still have the angry letter [[Ralph Nader]] sent me when I criticized his attacks on globalization.") |

Hello Verbal, you have reverted a page that is under dispute please read the following: |

Krugman was one of many economists to serve as a consultant for an advisory board for [[Enron]]; he did this in 1999, being paid $37,500<ref name="EnronFAQ">Paul Krugman, [http://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/enronfaq.html "My Connection With Enron, One More Time"], Retrieved March 28, 2007.</ref> and writing [http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1999/05/24/260257/index.htm Fortune Magazine column] referring in part to his experiences at Enron before ''[[New York Times]]'' rules required him to resign when he took a job as a columnist in 2000. He stated later the consulting was to "[offer] Enron executives briefings on economic and political issues"{{Fact|date=September 2008}} and that it had required him to "spend four days in [[Houston, Texas|Houston]]."{{Fact|date=September 2008}} |

However, when the story of Enron's corporate scandals broke, critics accused him of having a conflict of interest and the job of having been a bribe to control media coverage, charges he denies forcefully. He points out that in columns written before and after the scandal, he disclosed his past Enron relationship when he wrote about the company.<ref name="EnronFAQ" /><ref>Paul Krugman, [http://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/enron.html "Me and Enron"].

I requested page numbers on multiple occasions so that I can check the cites, the content is problematic and there is evidence of synthesis. The references cannot be checked without page numbers, that is why the banner [[WP:OR]] banner was in place, and that is why it is in my view not simply a question of placing check tags where problematic cites exist.

:I was no more perceptive than anyone else; during the bull market years [of the late 1990s] some people did send me letters claiming that major corporations were cooking their books, but - to my great regret - I ignored them. However, when Enron - the most celebrated company of its time, lauded as the very model of a modern business enterprise - blew up, I immediately saw the implications: if such a famous and celebrated company could have been a [[Ponzi scheme]], it was very unlikely that the rest of U.S. business was squeaky clean. In fact, it quickly became clear, the bubble years were both the cause and effect of an epidemic of corporate malfeasance. |

His first column on the epidemic was published in ''The New York Times'' on February 1, 2002 with the title, "Two, Three, Many?" |

Since January 2000, Krugman has contributed a twice-weekly column to the Op-Ed page of the ''New York Times'', which has made him, in the words of the ''[[Washington Monthly]]'', "the most important political columnist in America... he is almost alone in analyzing the most important story in politics in recent years — the seamless melding of corporate, class, and political party interests at which the Bush administration excels."<ref name="monthly">{{cite web|last=Confessore|first=Nicholas|title=Comparative Advantage|publisher=Washington Monthly|month=December | year=2002|accessdate=2007-02-05|url=http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0212.confessore.html}}</ref> In 2007, he began supplementing his ''Times'' column with a [[blog]]. In introducing it, he wrote, "Many of the posts will be supplements to my regular columns; I’ll be using this space to present the kind of information I can’t provide on the printed page – especially charts and tables, which are crucial to the way I think about most of the issues I write about."<ref>{{cite web| last =Krugman| first =Paul | title =Introducing This Blog | publisher =[[The New York Times]]| date =[[September 18]], [[2007]]| url =http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/18/introducing-this-blog/| accessdate = 2007-09-19}}</ref><ref>[http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0212.confessore.html ''Washington Monthly'' profile] from December 2002</ref> |

In September, 2003, Krugman published a collection of his columns under the title, ''[[The Great Unraveling]]''. Taken as a whole, it was a scathing attack on the Bush's administration's economic and foreign policies. His main argument was that the large deficits generated by the Bush administration—generated by decreasing taxes, increasing public spending, and fighting a war in Iraq — were in the long run unsustainable, and would eventually generate a major economic crisis. The book was a best-seller.<ref>{{cite web|title ="The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century"|publisher =Powell's Books | url =http://www.powells.com/biblio/61-0393326055-0 | accessdate =2007-11-22}}</ref><ref>[http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=2208841 ''The Economist'' - The one-handed economist] Paul Krugman and the controversial art of popularising economics, [[13 November]] [[2003]]</ref><ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/12699486/paul_krugman_on_the_great_wealth_transfer/print Krugman, Paul.

In 2007, Krugman published ''[[The Conscience of a Liberal]]''. The book is a history of wealth and income gaps in the US in the 20th century. The book documents that the gap between rich and poor declined greatly in mid-century, then widened in the last two decades to levels higher than those in the [[Gilded Age]] of the 1920s. Most economists (including Krugman) have regarded the late-20th-century divergence as resulting largely from changes in technology and trade, but Krugman writes that government policies had played a much greater role both in reducing the gap in the 1930s through 1970s and in widening it in the 1980s through the present. He rebuked the Bush administration for policies that currently widen the gap between the rich and poor. Krugman proposed a "new [[New Deal]]", which included placing more emphasis on social and medical programs and less on national defense.<ref>Oct 17 2007- Krugman [http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/17/1352236 On Healthcare, Tax Cuts, Social Security, the Mortgage Crisis and Alan Greenspan], in response to [[Alan Greenspan]]'s [http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/24/1412226 Sept 24 appearance] with [[Naomi Klein]] on ''[[Democracy Now!]]''</ref> The book was praised in outlets such as the New York Review of Books,<ref>November 22, 2007- Tomansky, Michael [http://www.nybooks.com/articles/20813 The Partisan]</ref> but it was attacked by such organizations as the libertarian Von Mises institute, where it was argued to be overly political and virtually without ideologically-sympathetic economic content.<ref>[http://www.mises.org/story/2872 The Conscience of Paul Krugman - David Gordon - Mises Institute<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

In 2008, in midst of the [[subprime mortgage crisis]] in the US, Krugman predicted that housing prices would drop 25% overall and up to 50% in locations such as [[Miami]] or [[Los Angeles]].<ref>{{cite web|title=How bad is the mortgage crisis going to get? |url=http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/14/news/economy/krugman_subprime.fortune/?postversion=2008031705|accessdate=2008-03-17}}</ref> |

Bush|George Bush]]…Even his economics is sometimes stretched…Overall, the effect is to give lay readers the illusion that Mr Krugman's perfectly respectable personal political beliefs can somehow be derived empirically from economic theory." |

In his [[May 22, 2005]] farewell column, ''New York Times'' ombudsman [[Daniel Okrent]] stated: "Op-Ed columnist Paul Krugman has the disturbing habit of shaping, slicing and selectively citing numbers in a fashion that pleases his acolytes but leaves him open to substantive assaults."<ref>[http://archive.salon.com/politics/war_room/2005/06/02/krugman/index.html Salon.com, The War Room: Did Krugman win by T.K.O.?]</ref> Okrent did not initially provide specific examples for his view, but a few days later was drawn from retirement into an email back-and-forth with Krugman wherein he listed several specific instances, publicly hosted by the new ombudsman's column.<ref>[http://uggabugga.blogspot.com/2005/06/krugman-vs-okrent-over-at-new-york.html Uggabugga: Krugman vs Okrent]</ref> Okrent's chief complaint (which may have been prompted by conservative commentator [[Donald Luskin]]<ref>[http://www.poorandstupid.com/2004_03_14_chronArchive.asp#107933587796571319 The Conspiracy to Keep You Poor and Stupid: "It's the Economic Lies, Stupid"]</ref>) was that in a May 2004 column, Krugman inappropriately mixed numbers from the Establishment and Household employment data, without explaining to readers that these two surveys use differing, and incompatible, methods. Krugman, in fact, did not use any Household data. He did provide a number for the necessary monthly job creation in order for employment to pace population growth, which was based on Census data.<ref>[http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2005/05/why_oh_why_cant_12.html The Semi-Daily Journal of Brad DeLong: Why Oh Why Can't We Have a Better Press Corps?

Economist [[Daniel B. Klein]] published during 2008 a paper in ''[[Econ Journal Watch]]'' that reviews and criticizes Krugman's columns for the ''New York Times''.

In the 2008 Presidential campaign, Krugman came under criticism from liberal bloggers after he offered repeated criticism of Democratic candidate [[Barack Obama]] and his supporters.

The bloggers described what they alleged were close ties between Krugman and the Clintons, and wrote that his commentary was lopsided in this regard against Barack Obama. The Times' entire "Letters to the Editor" column of February 13, 2008 was given over to discussion of Krugman's controversial column.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/13/opinion/lweb13krugman.html ‘Venom’? ‘Cult’?

A quick reply
Saw your note on my talk page - I have been out of the country for a couple of days. My comment about "not helping yourself" was a very simple way of saying that I believed the other party had given themselves enough rope now, the case/point had been made, we're heading to closure so there was no need to continue the argument, as that's when it starts making you look bad :-) BMW(drive) 10:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Noise (music) revert
Hello Verbal, you have reverted a page that is under dispute please read the following:
- Despite a protracted dispute with Valueyou leading to intervention of multiple editors, Valueyou's immediate action, following the conclusion of this period of disruption, was to revert the disputed article to a condition that Valueyou deemed acceptable, therefore leaving outstanding issues with WP:OR, WP:VER, WP:SYN, unaddressed. The dispute esentially relates to disagreement about tagging and to Semitransgenic's request for citations. The origin of this dispute can be traced to here. The user engaged in WP:CANVASS by copy pasting a personal attack across the talk pages of multiple articles user Semitransgenic has edited. There is also evidence of Valueyou accusing Semitransgenic of anti-semitism, resulting in Valueyou attempting to canvass ברוקולי. This last allegation arose as a result of the statement made here at 17:42 on the 10th of August. Irrespective of the nature of this hostile campaign Semitransgenic attempted to arrive at a truce but Valueyou's repsonse was instead to engage in antagonistic reversion. Please advise. Semitransgenic (talk) 10:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I requested page numbers on multiple occasions so that I can check the cites, the content is problematic and there is evidence of synthesis. The references cannot be checked without page numbers, that is why the banner WP:OR banner was in place, and that is why it is in my view not simply a question of placing check tags where problematic cites exist. If you have specific policy that addresses this please provide me with the relevant passage so that I confirm your actions are correst. Thanks. Semitransgenic (talk) 11:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
