Worst brazilian economists of the 21th century

1 - Dilma (for thinking what she learned at UNICAMP is economics, for following UNICAMPERS advice about macro policy and delivering a wonderful combination of a 6% s.steady inflation coupled with 2% gdp growth) -- THANKS A LOT

2 - Mantega (for lamenting the only thing he did right in this century, namely, the 2011 tightening of fiscal and monetary policy)


3 - Belluzer (for saying last week yet again that all our suffering comes from 2 decades of appreciated currency)

4 - Antoninho de Botucatu (for having difficulties with chap.6 of Osborne's classic on advanced game theory)

5- Siscú (did i get this right?...for thinking long-term growth is demand driven) (the fifth position was vacant in the first version of this post)

6 - Bacha (once a friend of mine strived to teach him the OLG model in continuous time to no avail; he got all the intuitions wrong; i was eavesdropping their conversation at Garças' house)

7- Holland (for saying that nothing changed in the management of fiscal policy here in Pindorama)

8 - CESG (for not forecasting the exact timing of the jump in USA interest rates some months ago)

9 - Professor M (for dividing matrixes element-by-element in an econometrics lecture)

10 - Jorge Vidor (uses a nice tie)
