  • Political Pressures on Monetary Policy During the US Great Inflation†
    American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics 2012, 4(2): 33–64 http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/mac.4.2.33 Political Pressures on Monetary Policy During the US Great Inflation† By Charles L. Weise* Drawing on an analysis of Federal Open Market Committee FOMC documents, this paper argues that political pressures on the( Federal) Reserve were an important contributor to the rise in inflation in the United States in the 1970s. Members of the FOMC understood that a serious attempt to tackle inflation would generate opposition from Congress and the executive branch. Political considerations contributed to delays in monetary tightening, insufficiently aggressive anti-inflation policies, and the premature abandonment of attempts at disinflation. Empirical analysis verifies that references to the political environment at FOMC meetings are correlated with the stance of monetary policy during this period. JEL D72, E32, E52, ( E58, N12 ) hat accounts for the Federal Reserve’s failure to control inflation in the WUnited States in the 1970s? One important set of factors has been highlighted in recent research by Romer and Romer 2002 , Nelson 2005 , Orphanides 2002, ( ) ( ) ( 2003, 2004 , and others. The argument set forth by these authors, which Romer ) 2005 calls the “ideas” hypothesis, is that the Federal Reserve’s errors were rooted ( ) in the beliefs that policymakers held about the structure of the economy. These beliefs included an unrealistically low estimate of the natural rate of unemploy- ment, the belief that observed inflation had little to do with monetary policy and that monetary policy could do little to combat it, and an overly pessimistic estimate of the costs of disinflation.

  • AIR AMERICA: SIKORSKY UH-34Ds (2Nd Series) by Dr
    AIR AMERICA: SIKORSKY UH-34Ds (2nd series) by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 15 August 2003, last updated on 24 August 2015 An Air America UH-34D delivering supplies to the Hmong at Phu Pha Dang (photo taken by Judy Porter, submitted by MacAlan Thompson with kind permission from the photographer) The types of missions flown by Air America’s UH-34Ds: The Sikorsky UH-34D was one of Air America’s work horses in Laos. With the exception of “803”, which was always operated in Thailand and so had a white color scheme similar to that of Royal Thai military aircraft, all Air America UH-34Ds were olive drab and did not bear any titles. They looked like Royal Lao Air Force UH-34Ds, except for the fact that RLAF UH-34Ds bore an Erawan and a four digit serial painted in yellow, while the Air America serial was white. Officially all Air America UH-34Ds were based at Udorn Royal Thai AFB where they were maintained periodically, but normally, all of them operated in up- country Laos for several weeks. Other Air America or CASI planes flew the crews as “dead heads” to the location from where they had to work for a period of several days. During that period the crews either slept in or next to their helicopter or were the guests of the local villages where they were temporarily stationed. At several “hubs” like Sam Thong there were even hostels where to get a shower. There were several types of missions flown by the UH- 34Ds: to transport all sorts of supplies (food, ammunition, fuel) to gun positions and other outposts; to fly medical evacuation missions from the villages or from battle areas, to transport indigenous, especially Hmong troops from one point to another during the battle (“leap frog” technique); to evacuate villages and outposts under fire, to rescue downed aircrews, and even to transport back to Udorn small aircraft like Helio Couriers or Pilatus Porters that had had an accident in Laos.

    Vol.47, No. 3 Ge•eralNotes [277 begins in late July. By early to mid-September it has progressedto replacement of the fifth secondary. At that time all of the wing coverts and tertials will have been replaced, but not the ahfiae. Primaries eight and nine will have par- tially regrown at that time and much but not all of the body molt will be either complete or well under way. The geographical origin of the bird in question is not known, nor is the normal timing of its molt schedule. Therefore, its schedule may or may not coincide with that observed in Adirondack juncos. However, since this bird had none of the usual molt characteristicsthat accompany replacement of the last two secondariesand the alulae, apparently its wing molt had been stopped or suspendedshort of completion.

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.
