Congratulations to former Mises Research Fellow Karl-Friedrich Israel for successfully defending his thesis at the University of Angers in France.
Dr. Israel's academic research has largely focused on monetary policy, monetary theory, and the history of macroeconomics.
At AERC in 2016, he presented a fascinating paper on the history of econometrics and how the concept has changed over the years. In it he highlights that the originator of the term, Pawel Ciompa, considered it a way of illustrating accounting, as a opposed to a means of developing economic theory. The paper can be read on the University of Angers website.
Dr. Israel has also written several articles for the Mises Wire, including:
How Much Do Central Banks Cost Us?
Five Reasons for Central Banks: Are They Any Good?
Inflation May Be Causing a Long-Term Rise in Unemployment
Ragnar Frisch: The First Nobel Laureate Chosen over Mises
The "Lucas Critique" Is Misesian at its Core
He has joined Jeff Deist twice on Mises Weekends:
