This week UC Davis's Institute of Governmental Affairs hosted a "Stimulus Smackdown." The event was billed as a debate between Brad DeLong of UC-Berkeley and Michele Boldrin of Washington University in St. Louis over the question, "can deficit spending save the economy?" Not that they could keep to the question, mind you. But even when they deviate, this is worth watching. Here's video provided by UC Davis:
Some audience members say Boldrin avoided the stimulus question, as seen in a post on DeLon's blog, Grasping Reality with Both Hands.
But Scott Sambucci gave the edge to Boldrin at Seeking Alpha.
