=================== HES POSTING ====================== 
 
[Posted on behalf of Neil H. Buchanan <[log in to unmask]> -- RBE] 
 
This is being cross-posted to AFEEmail, FEMECON, and HES.  Please feel 
free to forward this message to any other lists whose members might be 
interested. 
 
Please allow me to reintroduce myself briefly.  My name is Neil Buchanan, 
and I have recently (January 1998) joined the Economics Department at the 
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  I am also the director of a new 
research center called CAMP, the Center for Advanced Macroeconomic 
Policy. 
 
On September 14, 1997 (exactly one year ago today), I posted a message to 
this list, which read as follows: 
 
"I am starting to assemble a list of articles that bemoan the current 
state of economics (and/or its recent theoretical and methodological 
trends).  This would include such classics as 'The Poverty of Economics' 
and  'Let's Take the "Con" out of Econometrics.' It is my impression that 
this type of article is extremely common--written both by 'dissenting' 
economists and (interestingly) by many of the most prominent mainstream 
economists over the age of sixty (more or less)." 
 
"I would appreciate it if people could respond to me (off-list) if they 
know the cites (full or partial) of any such articles.  I am interested 
in articles published both in academic journals and in the more popular 
media (e.g., Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, etc.).  After I compile the 
list, I will either post it to these lists, or I will post a web address 
where the list will reside." 
 
I received a large number of suggestions, which my assistant has now 
tracked down (if it was humanly possible).  I would like to take this 
opportunity to thank everyone who responded to the original posting.  
There were simply too many to thank each of you individually, especially 
because I was in transition to a new job, house, region of the country, 
etc. 
 
We have compiled the full citations into six lists: articles appearing in 
refereed journals, articles appearing as chapters in books, complete 
books, articles appearing in newspapers, articles in popular periodicals, 
and a complete list.  The URL is: 
<http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CAMP/stateofecon.html>. 
 
We invite you to take a look at the lists and to browse the rest of our 
small website.  We welcome any comments or suggestions for further 
additions to the list. 
 
Best, 
Neil H. Buchanan, Director 
Center for Advanced Macroeconomic Policy (CAMP) 
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
