	Martin Feldstein EMU
		Feldstein börjar med att konstatera att EMU är att betrakta som ett avgörande steg på vägen till den politiska union som efterlyses i Maastrichtavtalet.
		Feldstein menar dock att tanken är förfelad: "[...] en politisk union av europeiska nationer är tänkt som ett sätt att minska risken för ännu ett inom-europeiskt krig mellan de enskilda medlemsstaterna.
		Inom EU ser Feldstein uppenbara konfliktrisker vad gäller den gemensamma penningpolitikens mål och metoder.

	Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - The Region - Interview with Martin Feldstein - September 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Feldstein: The rhetoric that has worked for the last 20-plus years since Paul Volcker took over was an emphasis on “price stability.” That didn't come with a precise number, but I think he defined price stability—and Greenspan used similar language—as meaning that price changes should be so low that people ignore them.
		Feldstein: I think it was successfully communicated during the Volcker and Greenspan eras.
		Feldstein: When I look at the current fiscal situation, in contrast to what we experienced in the '80s when the fiscal deficits were larger and rising, and debt-to-GDP ratios were rising, we're currently at a relatively comfortable level.

	The Feldstein Social Security Plan - 12/16/98
		The Feldstein plan is generally presented as a painless way to restore Social Security solvency without any reductions in the level of benefits the current benefit structure promises, with no tax increases, and, in fact, with almost all retirees receiving greater retirement income than under current law.
		Under the Feldstein plan, the low-wage worker would receive a Social Security benefit of $380 a month when his or her benefit was reduced by $3 for each $4 the worker received from a private account.
		Feldstein also assumes that every dollar in new saving the private accounts generate will be invested in the corporate sector, with none invested in housing or non-corporate businesses; this is another improbable assumption that CBO questions.

	John Tamny on the Current Account Deficit and Martin Feldstein on NRO Financial
		To begin, Feldstein opined that the “value of the dollar must fall by at least 30 percent to shrink the trade deficit to a sustainable level of 3 percent of GDP.” The problem here is that there’s no discernible correlation between the current account deficit and the value of the dollar.
		Feldstein’s op-ed bemoaned the “nature of the current capital inflow,” as it’s “different from the experience as recently as five years ago” when a higher percentage of foreign capital inflow went into equity funds.
		Feldstein is of the belief that the present level of foreign investment in the U.S. is unsustainable.

		I think that the one-size-fits-all monetary policy is seen as not working either for the countries that have weak demand and ought to have a more stimulative policy or, on the other hand, for those that are discovering they're becoming less competitive because their domestic prices are rising and they can't adjust monetary policy.

	Tax Reduction and Economic Welfare
		Moreover, Feldstein found that an across-the-board income tax cut, as some are advocating, would in general reduce deadweight losses by nearly two dollars for each dollar of tax revenue lost.
		Feldstein argues that previous authors have failed to take account the impact that taxes have on schemes for tax avoidance, such as converting taxable wage and salary income into such non-taxable fringes as employer-paid health insurance.
		Feldstein also argues that the earlier partial-equilibrium studies in the Harberger tradition understated the true elasticity of labor supply.

	RGE - Martin Feldstein joins the dollar doomsday cult
		Alan Greenspan, too. Dr. Feldstein thinks central banks -- and oil sheiks -- are behind a lot of private flows into the US. And he doesn't seem convinced that this is will result in a stable equilibrium. Not getting the Fed job does liberate one's oped pen.
		I discussed Feldstein's take on financial globalization in more depth before Christmas, so I don't say more now. Suffice to say that Feldstein seems to think central bank intervention is the missing variable in Greenspan's analysis of financial globalization.
		Feldstein just got a bit more attention with his FT oped than he got when i blogged about his argument.

	What Is Martin Feldstein Trying to Do?: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webjournal
		Martin Feldstein's op-ed, with its very heavy emphasis on reducing the deficit by slowing the growth of all discretionary spending--especially homeland security and defense spending--to the rate of inflation.
		There are four problems with Martin Felstein's argument, all of which revolve around his claim that low real bond yields signal that the deficit is temporary and benign.
		It is at least plausible that Feldstein's proxy for inflation expectations is too low and that his proxy for real yields is therefore too high.

	EconLog, Feldstein vs. Nordhaus, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Feldstein's article does not really specify a "benefit function" for curbing the use of gasoline.
		Logistically, a gas tax seems easier, but cap-and-trade doesn't have to be purely "quantity-like"; you can start with an auction in which the quantity offered is a function of the price bid, in which case you end up presenting a God-fearing supply curve instead of one that has either zero or infinite elasticity.

	A principal of economics - The Boston Globe
		CAMBRIDGE -- Harvard professor Martin Feldstein advises presidents; collaborates with the world's smartest economists; runs the nation's preeminent center for economic research; and ranks among the leading candidates to succeed Alan Greenspan as Federal Reserve chairman.
		Feldstein's decades of introducing students to economics is part of a teaching legacy that has arguably made him the nation's most influential economist.
		But Feldstein's lectures, incorporating current affairs, made the class relevant, helping her, for example, to understand how a weaker dollar would affect friends' summer trip to Europe.

	Economist's View: Martin Feldstein: The Fed's Difficult Task
		Martin Feldstein joins Paul Krugman, Robert Reich, Brad DeLong, and Nouriel Roubini with worries about an upcoming recession, but nevertheless argues that the Fed should remain hawkish and focus primarily on inflation concerns.
		The Fed's Difficult Task, by Martin Feldstein, Commentary, WSJ: A soft landing is a natural aspiration for any central bank confronting an unacceptably high rate of inflation.
		Feldstein apparently buys one of the alternative scenarios, in which either (1) rapid nominal compensation growth persists or (2) commodity prices continue to rise.

		Feldstein provided his views on the economy at the Bradley Distinguished Lecture Series at the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee in February.
		Feldstein believes that the Federal Reserve Bank will closely monitor these external and internal pressures, adjusting the federal funds rate – the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans – to keep these pressures in check.
		Feldstein said that it is possible to bring down the fiscal deficit, assuming that tax cuts are made permanent, the alternative minimum tax is changed or eliminated, and discretionary spending is controlled.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Spotlight on Marty
		It is a blotch on the University’s academic record that it has allowed Baker Professor of Economics Martin S. Feldstein ’61, since he began teaching the class in 1984, to use Harvard’s only introductory economics course as a forum to vent his personal views.
		Feldstein has failed to equip students with the full knowledge they need in order to understand a host of contemporary issues.
		At this critical moment, when heightened attention is being focused on Professor Feldstein’s class, students have an opportunity to raise Ec10 to Harvard’s academic standards.
