Colonial New Jersey's Paper Money: A Reply to Michener Again, and Again, and Again

Abstract

In the September 2020 issue of Econ Journal Watch, Ronald Michener published his seventh critical comment on my research. As in my past replies, I demonstrate that Michener is misguided. I demonstrate that Michener does not understand basic microeconomic theory; that Michener does not understand rational expectations or how to make it operational; that Michener does not understand my model of monetary performance; that Michener does not understand how colonial New Jersey redeemed its paper money; and that Michener does not know how to evaluate quotation evidence.
