What is the The Short Run Newsletter?

Between May 2000 and August 2003 I authored weekly newsletters in an attempt to provide visitors to the website with a free and constant source of up-to-date analysis of economic data releases and current economic events.  I have suspended the newsletter to pursue other work in the economics field.  During its 3 and half year journey the newsletter reached some 5000 subscribers and was continually developing.   Thanks so much to everyone who followed from week to week--  your feedback was both encouraging and supportive.  I enjoyed writing it immensely.  Feel free to peruse the archives.    

Sincerely,
Daniel Hicks
