	Peter Temin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Temin (born 1937) is a widely cited economist and economic historian, currently Elisha Gray II Professor of Economics, MIT and former head of the Economics Department.
		Temin graduated with highest honors from Swarthmore College in 1959 before earning his Ph.D. at MIT in 1964.
		Two of Dr. Temin's most cited conclusions in this area are on the relationship of Labor scarcity to economic development, and the role of General equilibrium models in studying economic history.

	Elites, Minorities, and Economic Growth
		Moreover, the editors -- Elise Brezis of Bar-Ilan University and Peter Temin of MIT -- note that the literature which does exist is fragmented: not only do students of one society rarely draw parallels with elite or minority behavior elsewhere, but sociologists and economists approach these issues from different angles and thus rarely interact.
		Peter Temin asks whether the recruitment of the American economic elite is as "democratic" as is commonly believed.
		Temin takes the fact that CEOs are on average three inches taller than the rest of the population as further evidence that they came from a privileged background; a more powerful explanation may lie in the commonly observed (in psychological studies) fact that people tend to view the tall as more trustworthy and capable.

	Interpretations
		Peter Temin argues that if a change in money is autonomous, that is, not caused by a change in income, "then we should be able to observe a temporary [change] in the rate of interest on assets bearing some resemblance to money."
		Temin attributes much of the decline in spending during this period to an autonomous and unexplained drop in consumption.
		Temin argues that an autonomous decrease in money should cause short-term interest rates to rise as people sell short-term assets trying to regain their lost money balances, while Friedman and Schwartz argue that when a banking panic reduces money, the desire for safe, liquid assets causes people to buy short-term assets.

	Online NewsHour: Phone Mergers -- May 11, 1998
		PETER TEMIN, MIT: Well, the telephone system was broken up in the 80's, separating long distance and local, but the break-up did not specify how many local companies there had to be.
		PETER TEMIN: Well, what is going to happen is increasingly for the business customer, for the high end customer who wants lots of services, high speed, wide band access, there will be more competition.
		PETER TEMIN: I don't think that I was quoted as saying that half the people would be disadvantaged.

	NCPA - Daily Policy Digest - When the Market Was Down in Babylon
		According to economic historian Peter Temin of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ancient Babylonian trading markets were as volatile as our own.
		Temin suggests that the generals, by using Alexander's treasure to fund armies, increased government spending, causing inflation.
		Temin found that prices followed what is known as a "random walk," which is also a feature of contemporary stock markets.

	Political Science and the FDA
		Peter Temin’s Taking Your Medicine[16] is a more general history than Wood’s, and it is unique in the way he uses the history of food and drug regulation in conjunction with a psycho-social model of politics to understand FDA decision-making.
		For example, Temin states that “the Depression and the war induced a desire for more directed behavior.”[22] The increasing pace of drug discoveries (including sulfa drugs in the 1930s and antibiotics after the war) made expert guidance more necessary.
		Thus, according to Temin, the 1938 FDCA was designed to establish a hierarchic structure to accommodate the growing culture of command-model decision-making.

	★ Reviews for Temin,_Peter
		Temin argues that a confusion over pricing structures between inter- and intra- state exchanges dating to the New Deal, combined with FCC decisions which allowed entrants into segments of the regulated monopolies businesses forced government action in the late 1970's.
		Temin's key is the misunderstanding of how to allocate the cost of long distance calls as a proportion of the service provided by local switching equipment.
		When it stuck to its role as "the efficient operator of the national telephone network," (Temin, p.27) it was accused of denying access to competitors.

	BW Online \| June 10, 2002 \| "Inferior Equilibrium" in Teachers' Pay
		Temin cites work by Richard Murnane, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, who found that teachers with high test scores quit teaching sooner than those who did less well.
		In Temin's view, years of low pay have dropped the quality of the teaching pool to the point where many of today's teachers aren't up to the job of educating the next generation.
		Argues Temin: "We are in danger of losing the educational advantage that the U.S. enjoyed in the 20th century." Sometimes simple solutions come in complicated packages.

		"Economists are no better than weather forecasters at predicting the future," writes MIT economist Temin in the introduction to this history of the New England economy.
		These include: New England's entry into the Atlantic economy; the invention of American capitalism; rapid industrialization; slavery and population growth in colonial New England; the region's reinvention of itself in the power-World War II economy.
		Mostly, it's a story of change: "The economic history of New England," writes Temin, "is as dramatic as the transformation of any region on earth."

		Professor Peter Temin '64, head of the department, said that the thesis was made optional because the department "discovered it's not always a useful experience." He noted that the economics department will continue to offer the Undergraduate Thesis Seminar (14.39), which prepares students for writing their thesis during the fall semester.
