The summit, scheduled for May 23rd at Laurel Ridge Community College, seeks to address various housing challenges faced by the region. The conversation began with informal exchanges about local events and food trucks, underscoring the community-oriented vibe of the show. The light-hearted banter set the stage for the in-depth discussion on housing issues. Amanda elaborated on the origins and mission of the Housing Coalition, a group formed seven years ago to unite local nonprofits, realtors, and organizations like Virginia Housing in tackling housing-related issues. The coalition's work includes hosting the annual Housing Summit, which aims to bring awareness and solutions to the area's housing challenges. The upcoming summit will focus on 'escaping the housing trap' and features notable speakers such as Ryan Price, Chief Economist for Virginia Realtors, and Robert McNabb, Economics Professor at ODU. Edward Erfurt from Strong Towns will also contribute insights on zoning and community planning. Janet and Amanda discussed the interconnectivity of housing with other community issues, emphasizing the summit's agenda of translating discussion into actionable solutions through breakout sessions and panels. Partnership details with local organizations and businesses were highlighted, demonstrating community-wide support for the initiative. To register for the summit or to learn more about the Housing Coalition and its activities, Amanda advised visiting their Facebook page.

Send us a textTake everything you thought you knew about how markets work and prepare for a fundamental rethinking. When NVIDIA's stock price skyrockets after negative news, or the Federal Reserve successfully manipulates interest rates through bond purchases, classical economic theories struggle to explain what we're witnessing in real time.Professor Aditya Chaudhry from Ohio State University joins us to explore the revolutionary concept of "demand-based asset pricing" - a framework that's challenging decades of financial orthodoxy. Traditional models suggest that when investors irrationally pile into a stock, deep-pocketed arbitrageurs should quickly step in to correct any mispricing. But what if there simply isn't enough arbitrage capital available to enforce rational pricing, especially at the macro level?We dive into groundbreaking research showing that shifts in investor demand might impact security prices up to 100 times more than classical theories predict. This "inelastic markets hypothesis" helps explain everything from market booms and busts to why quantitative easing actually works. The implications extend from central bank policy to government debt issuance, potentially reshaping how we interpret market movements.The conversation bridges complex financial theory with practical examples, making sophisticated concepts accessible without sacrificing depth. Whether you're trying to understand the current bull market, puzzling over Federal Reserve decisions, or simply seeking to make smarter investment choices, this episode provides crucial context for navigating today's financial landscape.While uncertainty remains a fundamental feature of markets, the one clear takeaway reinforces timeless wisdom: for most individual investors, passive products remain the most reliable strategy rather than attempting to outguess the market's complex demand dynamics.Show Notes:Supply and DemandGaigax & Koijen, Inelastic Markets Hypothesis (2023)Chaudhry & Li, Endogenous Elasticities (forthcoming)Thanks for listening!

Stocks took a dive Thursday morning after President Donald Trump outlined his plans for widespread tariffs. Beginning Saturday, the U.S. is set to charge a 10 percent tax on imports across the board with “reciprocal rates” starting next week. Those include a 34 percent tariff on Chinese goods and 20 percent on those coming from the European Union. China's government has said it will retaliate. Allison Luedtke, department chair of economics at St. Olaf College, joined Minnesota Now to break down what this could mean for Minnesota consumers and businesses.

An economist says Donald Trump's 'liberation day' could better be described as 'watch your wallet day'. The US President will be announcing his next round of tariffs in about half an hour. Dartmouth College Economics Professor Douglas Irwin say tariffs could be across the board or set specifically to each country. He told Mike Hosking a blanket option would create a lot of economic pain. Irwin says that includes fruit, clothes, shoes, and other manufactured goods.

Uncertainty is the word of the day in the US as Donald Trump gears up for his so called "Liberation Day". The President will reveal his latest round of tariffs at 9am New Zealand time. It's expected to throw away decades of norms around global trade and hit people in their back pockets. University of Iowa Economics Professor Anne Villamil told Andrew Dickens there's particular concern around further tariffs on Canada. She says 80% of US aluminium imports come from Canada, which is a key manufacturing component. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An economics expert says cutting the Official Cash Rate is unwarranted. The Reserve Bank is set to release its first 2025 OCR decision on Wednesday. Many economists are predicting a 50 basis point cut - from 4.25 percent to 3.75. Auckland University economics professor Robert MacCulloch says the bank's only meant to focus on inflation, which is already on target. "They're not looking at the inflation rate - it's exactly at 2 percent. But they're panicking about the state of the economy, that's the truth. I think that's what's going on."

On this week's episode of Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi explains the Israeli military policy driving their genocidal campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon. “The Dahiya doctrine calls for the Israeli military to intentionally, deliberately, cynically, inflict long-lasting and disproportionate damage onto the enemy, no matter how bad the civilian consequences,” Mehdi says. “AKA, exactly what we're seeing in Lebanon now, and in Gaza for the past year.”Why doesn't the US media give Israel's Dahiya doctrine any coverage? Mehdi does a deep dive into the history behind the policy, that of which mainstream media has failed to bring attention to. To discuss Israel's new front of the war in Lebanon, Lebanese academic and London School of Economics Professor, Fawaz Gerges joins the show. Gerges talks to Mehdi about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest message to the Lebanese people, in which Netanyahu called on the Lebanese people to, “stand up and take their country back” from Hezbollah or face the same suffering Israel has inflicted on Gaza. “What Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition are trying to do is to instigate a civil war in Lebanon. They're calling on the Lebanese to rise up to revolt against Hezbollah, knowing full well that Hezbollah is an integral part of the social fabric [in Lebanon],” Gerges says.Watch the full discussion above to hear Mehdi and Fawaz discuss why Israel's military strategy is so ineffective, the killing of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, and how the war in Gaza could change the international order forever. Also on the show, human rights activist Dr. Mahrang Baloch joins to tell Mehdi the story of how after being named one of Time Magazine's 100 Next, the Pakistani government barred her from traveling to New York to be recognized by Time and attend their gala this week. Baloch, who has been speaking out against Pakistan's abuse and killing of the country's Baloch minority, tells Mehdi that she was prevented from traveling to New York for the gala because the government knew she “would expose their war crimes in Balochistan.”“For years, our people have suffered enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and unimaginable human rights violations. And the US is [Pakistan's] biggest ally ,” Baloch says to Mehdi. “Not a single person that belongs to the Baloch community is safe.”Listen to Mehdi's interview with Dr. Mahrong Baloch to hear more about what the recognition from Time Magazine means to her and her minority community, as well as why other countries are turning a blind eye to Pakistan's abuse.After Elon Musk's surprise appearance at a Trump rally this past weekend, Mehdi is joined by the authors of “Character Limit,” – a new book about Musk and his disastrous Twitter takeover. "From bringing back formerly suspended accounts like that of former President Donald Trump and a variety of white supremacists and card-carrying antisemites, to then suspending accounts of journalists tracking the location of his jet using public sources, one thing is clear about Elon Musk, he is not the hero in this story,” Mehdi says. “But he thinks he is.”Watch Mehdi's interview with the authors, Ryan Mac and Kate Conger, to hear more about Musk forming his own echo chamber, his decisions to reduce content moderation on Twitter, and his rise into the far-right MAGA world. Be sure to watch the rest of this week's episode above.

A Chicago economics professor has questions about the potential effectiveness of the city's new budget restrictions. City Budget Director Annette Guzman outlined the changes this week, after Mayor Brandon Johnson projected a budget deficit of nearly a billion dollars in 2025. Guzman said a citywide hiring freeze would take effect immediately. Frances Lee is an economics professor at Loyola University of Chicago. Lee said economists have a saying when it comes to hiring. “We can achieve full employment if we hire half of the population to dig a hole and the other half to fill it. If we are eliminating these kinds of government jobs, then, yes, by all means do the hiring freeze,” Lee said.

Is the new jobs report suggesting a cooling US economy?
