Commentary article in Register Guard, August 2, 2009, on Fiscal policy in deep recessions
Earlier Register Guard guest column, Dec. 20, 2001, written during the 2001 recession: State badly needs a rainy day fund Remark: This time around Oregon does have a rainy day fund, but it needed to be larger. We should get this right in the future. All states should have a substantial rainy day fund, built up in expansions, to be used in recessions. Drawing on rainy day funds could be made contingent on a recession having been declared by the NBER reference cycle committee or the level of the state's unemployment rate as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
