Talk:Kenneth Rogoff

non democratic groups, membership

Mr. Rogoff is in Trilateral Commission, World Economic Forum, most likely in Scull and Bones (as top-scorer in Yale) and - I don't have time and patience to check any longer in the net - in other not so much "pro-human" organisations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.98.124 (talk) 01:16, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Are those hospital charities or in other words, has he ever volunteered to do anything out of compassion. You don't need cash, credit or banking to offer compassion but charity has significant economic benefit. Try it sometime. Even at Harvard. Especially at Harvard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.100.169 (talk) 19:02, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Untitled

Right now this article is really empty. What are his positions, what policies does he support, what are his key research ideas? AxelBoldt (talk) 05:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Exactly my thoughts and my reason for coming to the talk page. ---Dagme (talk) 14:23, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Does he know which end of a shovel to hold? Is arranging a checker board a form of manual labor? How rounded is this person? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.100.169 (talk) 18:54, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Ethnicity

It should really be discussed that he is Jewish and comes from a Jewish background. The links at the bottom indicate this but how does one know. It seems that the original author of the article knew. How did they know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.35.225.222 (talk) 17:48, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

The real question is whether he has ever moved a lawn. This is more representative of economic motivations than playing board games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.100.169 (talk) 18:59, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

New Keynesian and Reinhart

He and Reinhart both have New Keynesian titles given to them are wrong. When both are clearly pushing for austerity, which is part of the Austrian School of economics by Friedrich Hayek. If both aren't corrected, I will correct them myself. You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLAmidei (talk • contribs) 00:18, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

This is Malarkey. There is no way in the world that either Rogoff or Reinhart would classify themselves as Austrian. See, for example, what Rogoff says about the New Keynesian James Tobin here or what he says in the same place about the need for regulation, or about the central bank intervening to burst bubbles. Two other comments: first, their finding that a high debt to GDP ratio is associated with slower growth was used by others to advocate austerity, but I haven't seen any evidence that they themselves agreed with that; and second, even if their policy prescription on a specific issue at a specific time coincides with the recommendation of a certain school, it doesn't mean that they agree with with the paradigm more broadly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.165.21.180 (talk) 18:25, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

The same study about austerity that just got discredited by a simple Excel document. It's called cooking the books for political purposes.--JLAmidei (talk) 01:57, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Did Keynes ever deliver lunch to the destitute and homeless, or did he just philosophize about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.100.169 (talk) 19:04, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Non-encyclopedical content

The section '2008 near-meltdown' basically involves opinions based on a non-accessible source (the link is not working, although the source may be found through Internet Archive). It needs a significant rewrite; non-encyclopedical statements should be removed. PRmaster1 (talk) 19:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
