Delightful

As usual, great stuff from Dr Cochrane. Professor Cochrane does a wonderful job at making the economic literature accessible to the lay person and he offers thought-provoking ideas and suggestions for policy makers. Keep up the good work!

Fair minded, empirically fact based and self critical. An excellent, pithy economic podcast. Keep up the excellent work.

Outstanding Info

These first few Grumpy Economist podcasts are excellent. Cochrane is clear, lucid, fun, and is a great explaining trade offs and other key concepts.
Bravo!
