Shane Mage wrote: >This makes no sense. An "aggregate," by definition, is the sum of >its "components." <http://www.bea.gov/bea/an/nipaguid.pdf> Chained-dollar measures BEA also prepares measures of real GDP and its components in a dollar-denominated form, designated "chained (1996) dollar estimates."

23316 [lbo-talk] hedonic pricing update -- rank: 1000
Highly technical note follows. I forwarded this the other day, trusting that Merrill Lynch had gotten things right. They hadn't really. On checking with the BEA (which is apparently something the Merrill economist didn't do), I discovered that they stopped publishing the real dollar figure because they wanted to discourage people from adding up the components to get the aggregates, because chain-type numbers aren't additive. (Add them up, subtract from the aggregate, and you get the residual.) T ...

Decent NLRB and judicial appointees, not drilling in the Arctic. His creation of a bullshit Fair Labor Association encouraged the anti-sweatshop kids to form something for real - a perfect illustration of the mechanism I was talking about: he didn't do enough, so the radicals were encouraged to do something serious.

He's much more educated and worldly than his colleagues, and he comes from a much more politically varied and sophisticated part of the world than most Wall Streeters do.

I have been asking them and their supporters this question for the last five years. My interviews suggest people join religious terrorist groups in the belief that they can make the world a better place for the population they aim to "serve."
