Thursday assorted links

1. 16 economists on Brexit (videos).

2. My post on Romneycare, from ten years ago.

3. Does inequality lead to credit growth?  Testing the Rajan hypothesis.

4. Maybe Fitbit doesn’t work?  And the NYT version.

5. I don’t agree with everything in this Zero Hedge post, and some of it is flat out wrong, but it does cast serious doubt on the new, happy median income growth figures: “the Census Bureau’s own report shows that the median nominal earnings of full-time male workers in 2015 grew by 1.6% and for full-time female workers by 2.8%. That hardly squares with 5.7% average aggregate growth of incomes for all workers—unless main street households was suddenly showered with windfalls from stock dividends they don’t own, bank accounts that pay no interest or rental incomes from properties registered in someone else’s name.”

6. The culture that is youth sports.
