	Robert Barro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Barro (born 1944) is an influential conservative macroeconomist and the Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics at Harvard University.
		Barro first reached wide notice with a 1974 paper entitled "Are Government Bonds Net Wealth?", a paper which argued that, under certain assumptions, present borrowing would be matched by increased lending in order to pay future taxes expected to pay the debt on the government bonds.
		Barro's work has been central to many of the economic and public policy debates of the last 30 years, including business cycle theory, growth theory, the neo-classical synthesis and public policy.

		ROBERT BARRO: And the basic way you do that is you cut the taxes where they start out having the highest rates.
		ROBERT BARRO: Well, that in itself would I think have a small negative impact, analogous to the kind of effect early on in the Clinton administration where they raised those tax rates, or if you go back to the first Bush administration.
		ROBERT BARRO: Would be on the Social Security side in terms of introducing some kind of private accounts, not changing the pensions for the existing retired people or people close to it, but down the road, people who are younger.

		ROBERT REICH: Well, although Professor Barro, Gwen, is correct about overall economic growth, the fact of the matter is that with regard to jobs and wages, and also health care, these are things that obviously matter most to average families, the economy has performed very poorly.
		ROBERT BARRO: Part of the deficit I think is perfectly reasonable, that's the part that has to do with the recession which began in 2001.

		BARRO: Well, I'm surprised that Paul doesn't actually applaud the budget deficits in that respect, because I think most economists believe that you want to have deficits in times of emergencies, which are mainly times of recession and times of war.

	Robert J. Barro
		Barro's "Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis" has spawned a virtual research industry of its own as a whole generation of economists have climbed over each other tortuously examining, assailing, and verifying the validity and implications of Barro's theorem (his 1974 paper is among the most-referenced papers in economics today).
		Barro's essential approach was that, while accepting that the size of a deficit would not matter, fiscal policy can still have an effect on the income and consumption profiles of people over time and thus, one can and should carefully examine particular expenditure and tax schemes for differing welfare implications.
		Together with D. Gordon, Robert Barro (1983) cracked open another new flood of research in his analysis of inflation as a "dynamic inconsistency" problem: the idea that inflation results from a game played between the government (more specifically, the central bank) and the general public.

	Paper: "Prosperity, Islam and Democracy" by Margaret Hoeft - May 16, 2003 - ...
		Expanding on current research, and especially the publications of Robert Barro and Samuel Huntington, this paper seeks to examine the “determinants of democracy” within the Middle East and Africa to clarify the relative importance of economic developments and size of Muslim population.
		Moreover, studies such as Robert Barro’s ‘Determinants of Democracy’ have statistically shown that countries identified as Muslim are less likely to be democratic, despite economic developments (1999).
		Robert Barro quantitatively demonstrates that increases in education and middle class population have positive relationships with democracy, but so does the country’s gross domestic product.

		Barro devotes a large part of this chapter to dealing with endogeneity issues; that is, ensuring that causation is running from inflation to growth and not in the other direction.
		Barro's approach to studying the determinants of growth is very much data-driven.

	Welcome To Korea Now !!!-Business & Finance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		Robert Barro, a renowned economist who is frequently considered a candidate for the Nobel prize, urged the government to allow more foreign investment in the banking sector and cautioned that excessive interference in the financial markets could hurt Korea's long-term economic prospects.
		Barro argues that the best way to improve the banking sector would be by allowing more foreign investment, especially from the United States, a view that he admits has led to accusations that he is a "yankee imperialist," which he denies.
		Barro attributes a lot of the problems in the sector to general unfamiliarity with the credit business, which led to the extension of credit to customers who should not have received it in the first place.

	New College All-Star: Columbia Pays Top Dollar for Economics Heavy Hitter
		The kind of six-figure salary that Barro, 53, will command at Columbia, while perhaps commonplace for economics Ph.D.s on Wall Street and not unheard-of for finance whizzes at major business schools (including Columbia's), is a record-breaker in the market for academic economists who work in more traditional fields like macroeconomics and trade theory.
		Barro was already meeting with architects, their son had received his acceptance letter from the Dalton School and a job offer was about to go out to one of Barro's former students, Casey Mulligan at Chicago.
		Still others point to Barro's prickly persona (he was known, as a young professor at the University of Chicago, for his outbursts during debates and his scathing attitude toward less-stellar colleagues).

		But at stake is the legacy of Bill Clinton and his treasury secretary, Robert Rubin, who in the 1990s redefined the formerly protectionist, free-spending party as a champion of free trade and balanced budgets.
		Interesting paper from Robert Barro "On the Welfare Costs of Consumption Uncertainty." The paper shows that previous measures of the welfare cost of consumption uncertainty understate the welfare cost.
		Barro goes on to discuss how this result relates to macroeconomic stabilization policy, fluctuations in consumption from natural disasters, wars, disease, and other potential sources of aggregate fluctuations.

		Barro quickly added seminal papers on monetary neutrality—examining how and when monetary policy could have real economic impact—and the role of reputation in central banking—exploring middle ground between full discretion and rigid rule.
		Barro: It is certainly fair to say that this insight was in the 1988 paper by Rietz, which I think came out of his Ph.D. thesis.
		Barro: In contrast to the work on the neoclassical growth model in the 1950s and 1960s, the later growth theory, such as [Stanford University economist] Paul Romer's at the end of the 1980s and early 1990s, was followed up with empirical inquiry.

	Religion and Economic Growth
		Barro and McCleary consider first how religiosity responds to economic development, government influences on religion, and the composition of religious adherence.
		They find that their measures of religiosity are positively related to education, negatively related to urbanization, and positively related to the presence of children.
		Barro and McCleary suggest that higher rates of religious beliefs stimulate growth because they help to sustain aspects of individual behavior that enhance productivity.

		Barro is most famous among economists for his defense of "Ricardian equivalence." Against claims that a budget deficit crowds out investment, our author demurs.
		For Barro, the pursuit of statistical significance is a categorical imperative.
		Rather, what is of interest is the implicit standard Barro uses to condemn athletic salaries as "too high." It is the familiar model of completely efficient resource use, in which all "externalities" have been subjected to correction.

		Barro has argued that small movements in these probabilities can be a big deal for financial markets.

	SSRN-Reflections on Ricardian Equivalence by Robert Barro
		The Ricardian equivalence proposition for public debt in my 1974 JPE paper is related to the discussions in Ricardo's Funding System, Smith's Wealth of Nations, and a number of treatments in macroeconomics from the 1950s to the 1970s.
		Useful extensions of the basic invariance proposition involve tax smoothing (in the context of distorting taxation) and the determinants of the maturity and other characteristics of the debt structure (in an environment of uncertainty).
