Unemployment solved: Answer to Krugman, Phelps, Ormerod and Heilbroner

Abstract:
Krugman, Phelps, ormerod and Heilbroner have produced forceful analyses on the current state of the economy, society and economic theory itself, and allwith a distinct attention for unemployment. These authors agree on many points, but disagree on major points too. Interestingly where these authors disagree, wmy own work offers new answers, on angles clearly not considered by them. My analysis solves conflicts, fills gaps, and complements on usseful points. By relating my work to theirs I hope to enable these authors and their readers to plug into - what I consider - a new synthesis for a (renewed) mainstream economics.

EconWPA began as a conversation between Bob Parks and Larry Blume on January 28, 1993. I located Paul Ginsparg's archive (then xxx.lanl.gov) and he graciously installed his software on a Sun Sparc system which was supporting the department of economics email and computation. EconWPA began accepting papers July 1, 1993 and had ftp, email, gopher and web interfaces. The web interface for submissions was engineered into existence in July 1995. A complete and catastrophic machine failure in 1999 caused the loss of EconWPA's email new paper announcment service at which time there were over 15,000 subscriptions with over 8,000 unique email addresses.

In 2005, Arts and Sciences commandeered the computing services that I had provided to the Department of Economics since 1987. Some might say that the department was sold out, others would (erroneously) claim that centralization is efficient, and still others would claim that I have few marketing skills.

I was told that I could keep operating EconWPA (as well as many other services including rfe.wustl.edu, barnett.wustl.edu, and three RePEc servers) but I would receive no support (hardware, software, or anthing else) and (as had been the case) no compensation. At that point, given the apparent low valuation of my activities by the department, and university, it made no sense for me to continue operating EconWPA or other services.

Thanks to all who have supported EconWPA in the past.
