Barry Zillman's Bread Rolls

A financial and economics mini-magazine and blog by George Schils

BZ Bread is partially online at this time. I am organizing various studies, work, research, writings, and results, and some of the results are presented on BZ Bread. More of these results should appear at various times. Other of these results are available via other media (not determined yet), some at cost.

Economics Notes

BZ Bread contains various economics and econometrics related discussions. There are opinions, comments, writings of a general nature, and some economics results based on some application of mathematics or statistics.

See these general blog qualifications and see these qualifications that are specific to BZ Bread.

General BZ Bread content

Generally BZ Bread consists of the following kinds of material:

• Emotional comments about the economy. These comments are of an opinion nature.
• Links to other interesting Internet information regarding economics and finance. There is lots of good information on the Internet, and some of the links presented here may be very helpful.
• Analytical comments and writing supported by calculations or graphics. A spreadsheet calculation is a typical example. Another example is a least squares fit to some data.

Exceptions to the above are possible. Occasionally other kinds of content exists.

At the moment, BZ Bread consists of some scattered pieces and scraps of writing that are mainly conveyed via e-mail. What constitutes BZ Bread and what does not is not determined as are many aspects and definitions. BZ Bread overlaps with other projects and areas on this site. BZ Bread is not a giant mega-publication.
