Healthcare anyone? The Breakfast Analogy.

Image
In my last lecture on the Economics of Healthcare we got into a discussion on the latest plans that are floating around Washington. In order to simplify the concepts from an economic perspective, I created the breakfast analogy and here it is. Suppose that a discovery was made in the U.S. that few Americans were eating breakfast and this was causing malnutrition As a result there was total consensus that every American should have a nutritious breakfast. The media spells out the options: (1) A National Breakfast Program supplied by the Government, (2) A Government Supplied National Breakfast Insurance Program where the Government mandates a morning breakfast for everyone (this might include a Breakfast Voucher for low incomes) and (3) A National Breakfast Bank [Yes this is ol’ Prof Timmy’s invention]. Under Option (1) everyone who has the money for breakfast pays a fee into the government. The government in turn decides that breakfast was too important of a meal to be left to ...

Indifference Curve Drawing Tips

Okay after seeing some dear in the headlights looks from last night, I am posting my tips for how to draw indifference curves and solve problems that seem to be real buggars (yeah, that's a technical term.)

Consider if you can draw another budget constraint line next or if you need to draw your first Indifference curve. Save the Indifference curves for last if possible. 6.

How Bad is the Sub Prime Mortgage Mess? When you look at the numbers, that is.

Every banking crisis we have ever experienced has its roots in the unchecked explosion of credit, this occurs without regard to people's ability to pay off the debt or a reasonable risk assessment. Lately we hear about how the poorly administered loans in the subprime mortgage mess has cripled many credit markets in the United States. Well, I'm not so convinced that these bad loans are the culprit. Maybe they are just a convenient target. After all, the public always wants to find a bad guy to blame. According to the Federal Reserve, only 14% of the total mortgage market is categorized as subprime. So what do the numbers actually tell us? How many defaulted mortgages are there truly? How many more mortgages should we expect to default? It's really some simple accounting. The article written by former hedge fund manager and Wall Street analyst, Tom Brown maps the data out logically. He calculates a loss rate that tells us what % of the mortgages out there will default. He l...
