Germany's Economic Recovery Despite Lack of Stimulus

[mheslep]

I'm unable to parse this sentence correctly. Could you clarify or rewrite?

Haven't looked into your links yet - reading for the weekend. Thanks.

Sorry. I meant: given your own background research on display in various posts, I don't see how its possible that "most" all of the economic writers you've come across say the stimulus created million(s?) of jobs.

I'm not sure exactly what I have displayed in previous posts, but I think I have made mention of (and hopefully cited) at least two, possibly three different papers that, if I recall correctly, estimated on the order of a million jobs saved. I don't believe I'm misremembering that number, though it is possible. And I do recall that you had an objection to a paper co-authored by Zandi. I think I may have subsequently read another report - I'd have to do a search to confirm. As promised earlier, I will get to posting sources this weekend. I think it would be good to have all the literature collected in one place, so people can read and discuss the merits or problems with each of them.

If you recall something specific from my posting history that contradicts what I'm saying here, please fell free to set the record straight.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not talking about economic writers expressing an opinion on job creation, or lack thereof. I don't actually recall many (any?) such economic columns that actually propose a number for jobs created/lost, except perhaps "zero". I am referring specifically to papers that perform a full calculation of the numbers.
