Talk:National Bureau of Economic Research

Funding for high sounding Institute names
Who funds this organization and what are their expectations for their money? Does this organization simply publish propaganda for their backers or actual impartial research? Can we tell by who quotes them as a source and what their motivations appear to be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Outofthebox (talk • contribs) 03:46, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Good question. There is some info on the organization website but it would be nice to have additional information from an independent source. NBER has a good reputation and their publications appear to be sound, but individual publications may be funded by corporations or organizations that have a specific agenda.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Resession Markers
Call me paranoid, but I can't help but think that since this section is so short and so timely, it comes of as saying 'Nuh-uh! The US is not in recession!' A much better version of this section would say what criteria the NBER uses to define a recession, along with a critque of why this method is preferred over the two quarters of negative growth method. Any specific mention of contentiously defined recessions should be significantly historical as to illustrate the the pros and cons each definition. 23:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.168.75 (talk)

Nobel Prize in economics
There is no such thing. Use its full name, or enough to distinguish it from actual Nobel Prizes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.131.60.99 (talk) 10:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Just because the full, proper name wasn't used doesn't mean that there's "no such thing" as the Nobel Prize for Economics. It's a colloquial term for the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel". SimpsonDG (talk) 16:23, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
