Nobel Lecture: Uncertainty Outside and Inside Economic Models
Nobel Lecture: Uncertainty Outside and Inside Economic Models Lars Peter Hansen University of Chicago We must infer what the future situation would be without our interference, and what changes will be wrought by our actions. Fortunately, or unfortunately, none of these pro- cesses is infallible, or indeed ever accurate and complete. ðKnight 1921, 201–2Þ I. Introduction Asset pricing theory has long recognized that financial markets compen- sate investors who are exposed to some components of uncertainty. This is where macroeconomics comes into play. The economywide shocks, the primary concern of macroeconomists, by their nature are not diver- sifiable. Exposures to these shocks cannot be averaged out with exposures to other shocks. Thus returns on assets that depend on these macroeco- nomic shocks reflect “risk” premia and are a linchpin connecting macro- economic uncertainty to financial markets. A risk premium reflects both the price of risk and the degree of exposure to risk. I will be particularly interested in how the exposures to macroeconomic impulses are priced by decentralized security markets. This manuscript was prepared in conjunction with the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.

Martin said the hatchery, run through the state’s Salmon and Trout Enhance- ment Program, raises as many as 1 million salmon fry a year. The center is the pri- mary source of hatchery-raised salmon on the Millicoma River. But those fish could be directed else- where under fishery management changes proposed the Oregon Depart- ment of Fish & Wildlife. Under the proposed Coastal Conserva- tion and Management Plan, the agency is considering eliminating or shifting the location of certain salmon and steelhead hatchery programs run through STEP. That could mean the end of fishing opportunities for hatchery salmon in the Millicoma River, as well as a decrease in hatchery steelhead fishing opportunities in the South Coos and Coquille Rivers. Hatchery fish provide the bulk of fishing opportunities on those rivers, because of bag limits on wild fish.

Cheers to 2020!
January 2020 Edition Newsletter Cheers to 2020! What's New? Greetings and a Happy New Year everyone! I am sitting at the airport in Sydney, Australia and actually in the future, so to speak, since via all time calculations, it's a day earlier here. I did get the In The Store opportunity to visit three rock shops and a Starbucks while in New Zealand. Nephrite, a more common form of jade, is New Zealand's green stone of popularity and abundance. Such a delight to share stories of Tucson trips and energy parallels between both countries with other shop owners. Robert Simmons IS committed Non-Irradiated to coming to Nature's Treasures in 2021 for a special Smoky Quartz Points seminar encompassing all the new knowledge he has composed in his newly released book..."The Alchemy of Stones: Co-Creating with the Soul of the World" so watch for updates and more detail in future newsletters. In the nearer future, we will be headed to Tucson for our annual buying trip the last of this month. Yes, it's that time again so start working on those manifestations so all your goodies can be ready for us to find Restocked and New: when we get there. We will be shopping for 3+ weeks and can't wait Peruvian Items to share our finds with you during our 14th Annual Tucson Trunk Sale that will start this year on March 14th and run thru the 22nd. Mark your calendars now! At The Counter I'm trying to decide what New Year's resolutions I achieved last year and how many I should probably continue to work on in 2020.
