Wrong-Headed on Rare EarthsBRUSSELS – For more than two years, the world’s industrialized countries have been locking horns with China over the
supply
of rare earth elements, a critical component of many high-tech products.
And, while China’s repeated reduction of export quotas for rare earths may not be contrary to WTO rules per se, particularly because the WTO recognizes environmental considerations as a basis for restricting
supply
(China’s own justification), it remains doubtful whether China’s export regime is really in line with the WTO accession protocol to which it agreed.
First, it endangers new mines and refineries outside of China that are being planned in the coming years – and that would help to loosen China’s iron grip on
supply.
Pushing China into a corner could force it to undertake more intractable, WTO-compliant ways to keep a lid on exports – for example, by vertically integrating Chinese producers and consumers, or by establishing long-term
supply
contracts.

Economics for ParrotsBERKELEY – It is said that the early nineteenth-century British economist J.R. McCulloch originated the old joke that the only training a parrot needs to be a passable political economist is one phrase: “supply and demand,
supply
and demand.”
Last week, US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that McCulloch’s economics – the economics of
supply
and demand – was in no way discredited by the financial crisis, and was still extraordinarily useful.
It’s hard to disagree with Bernanke’s sentiment: economics would be useful if economists were, indeed, likeMcCulloch’s parrots – i.e., if they actually looked at
supply
and demand.
The problem, advocates of this view claim, is a shortage of productive
supply
rather than a shortage of aggregate demand.
But it should be easy – at least for an average parrot – to tell whether a fall in sales is due to a shortage of
supply
or a shortage of demand.
If a fall in sales is due to a shortage of demand while there is ample supply, then, as quantities fall relative to trend, prices will fall as well.
If, on the other hand, the fall in sales is due to a shortage of
supply
while there is ample demand, then prices will rise as quantities fall.

supply
is too great, then new emissions of government debt would be accompanied by low prices – that is, by high interest rates.
The problem, the parrot would say, is that households and businesses are still trying to build up their stocks of safe, high-quality assets, and are switching expenditures from buying currently-produced goods and services to increasing their shares of an inadequate
supply
of government liabilities.
They will agree with the parrots that falling inflation showed that the macroeconomic problem was insufficient demand for currently produced goods and services, and that the low level of interest rates on safe, high-quality government liabilities showed that the
supply
of safe assets – whether money provided by the central bank, guarantees provided by banking policy, or government debt provided through deficit spending – was too low.
The question that will be a mystery to them is why so many economists of our day did not know how to say: “supply and demand,
supply
and demand.”
These included advances in technology (especially in transportation and communications), management innovation in multinational companies, and integration of these companies’
supply
chains.
As emerging-market economies shift to higher value-added components in global
supply

supply

supply
of safe blood once and for all?
