Episode description

This week, Robert (Bob) Hall became the sixth Hoover Institution fellow in the last-half-century to receive a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Valerie Ramey, Hoover’s Thomas Sowell Senior Fellow and deputy director of research, discusses how Hall’s “New Keynesianism” school of thought impacts modern economic scholarship and its utilization in practical terms, as well as her working relationship with the future laureate, dating back to her graduate-school days, when she served as Hall’s research assistant on matters like the flat tax.
