I picked this study up from Mark Thoma&#x27;s blog. FWIW, Dean Baker (founder of the CEPR and author of the paper here) has a well-established record as an economist and his credentials can be looked up.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what your implication is, though. Are you afraid of a liberal bias, conservative bias, pro-capitalist or anti-capitalist bias?<p>If I posted a paper from the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, I doubt that you would consider the &quot;journal&quot; part to be a consolation.
