• Friedman and Taylor On Monetary Policy Rules: A Comparison

The names Milton Friedman and John Taylor are associated with different monetary policy rules; but, as shown in this paper, the difference between their perceptions of how the economy works is not great. The monetary policy rules advanced by Taylor and Friedman are compared by linking the rules to the two economists' underlying views about nominal rigidity, the source of trade-offs, the sources of shocks, and model uncertainty. Taylor and Friedman both emphasized Phillips curve specifications that impose temporary nominal price rigidity and the long-run natural-rate restriction; and they basically agreed on the specification of shocks, policymaker objectives, and trade-offs. Where they differed was on the extent to which structural models should enter the monetary policy decisionmaking ...

• The Relationship Between the Daily and Policy-Relevant Liquidity Effects

The phrase "liquidity effect" was introduced by Milton Friedman (1969) to describe the first of three effects on interest rates caused by an exogenous change in the money supply. The lack of empirical support for the liquidity effect using monthly and quarterly monetary and reserve aggregates data led Hamilton (1997) to suggest that more convincing evidence of the liquidity effect could be obtained with daily data-the daily liquidity effect. This paper investigates the implications of the daily liquidity effect for Friedman's liquidity effect using a more comprehensive model of the Federal Reserve's daily operating procedure than has been previously used in the literature. The evidence indicates that it is no easier to find convincing evidence of a Friedman liquidity effect using daily ...

• Carl Sagan and the Search for E.T.

The article appeared in Analog magazine in 1969, with this description: "Cornell's Professor Sagan looks typecast for the Hollywood part of the brilliant, handsome young scientist who, in one of those boy-meets-girl-meets-monster epics, saves the beautiful girl from the dutches of the Evil Menace from Outer Space, a task for which he's better qualified than most other human beings." In 1979, Carl and two other scientists, Bruce Murray and Louis Friedman, created a private, nonprofit organization, The Planetary Society, to further spread the good word about space exploration and SETI Because of Carl's fame, the Society quickly drew 100,000 members, and became the largest private space-interest group in the world.

• Flight Suspensions Raise Debate Over Program

Some critics are casting the space shuttle's latest setbacks as evidence it may be too costly and too risky in the twilight of its life, but NASA and its backers are steeling themselves against any effort to retire it early. Maybe it's time to consider that this is the last straw, because the shuttle is enormously expensive. It's a risky vehicle. It's an old technology," said Louis Friedman, who directs the prominent space interest group known as The Planetary Society.
