Conversable Economist
Timothy Taylor on economic research, made readable.
About
Conversable Economist, written by Timothy Taylor, summarizes and contextualizes economic research in a way that's readable without a graduate degree in the subject. Readers who want to keep up with what economists are actually studying and arguing about are the audience.
Taylor's background as the longtime managing editor of the Journal of Economic Perspectives shows in the newsletter's habit of pointing to specific papers and reports, translating academic findings into plain language instead of offering pure opinion.
