We lost a great economist and a great person this week when Bill Nordhaus died.

As he was to many others, he was a mentor to me starting in my undergrad days and remained a good friend over the years.

We will all miss him and my prayers go out to his family. His memory will be a blessing forever.

I asked Claude how much it would have taken to develop Econvitals pre-coding agents. It's answer: a team of about 50 people working for three years with a budget of $20 million.

Is this correct or too high? I'm not sure.

I'm thrilled to be launching Econvitals today. It's been the main way in which I have been tracking and understanding the economy over the last several months. And I decided I might as well share it with all of you--for free.

Has a combo of website, email lists & social media.
