CERN discovers new economics particle

SUMMARY

CERN has announced the discovery of a new economic particle called the “FERIR,” which was confirmed by the DSGEin, a particle equilibrator. This particle, proposed by Professor Larry Summers at the 2013 IMF Research Conference, helps explain the persistence of the Zero Lower Bound (ZLB) in economics. The discovery indicates significant inversions in economic behaviors, such as the shift in growth and inflation dynamics, which complicate traditional economic policies. Economists are now tasked with addressing these inversions as they adapt their strategies in response to the new understanding of the FERIR.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Zero Lower Bound (ZLB) economics
  • Familiarity with economic particle theory
  • Knowledge of Central Bank policies and their implications
  • Awareness of the Grand Unification Theory of Money (GOTUM)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the FERIR on economic policy-making
  • Explore the concept of particle-antiparticle pairs in economic theory
  • Study the effects of Central Bank interventions on inflation and growth
  • Investigate the relationship between political spin and economic theory interpretations
USEFUL FOR

Economists, financial analysts, policymakers, and students of economic theory who are interested in the intersection of particle physics and economic principles.

Economists Discover Quasi-Equlibriated Economic Sub-Particle
The problem economists have explaining the financial crash

By Steve Keen

CERN has just announced the discovery of a new particle, called the “FERIR”.

This is not a fundamental particle of matter like the Higgs Boson, but an invention of economists. CERN in this instance stands not for the famous particle accelerator straddling the French and Swiss borders, but for an economic research lab at MIT—whose initials are coincidentally the same as those of its far more famous cousin.

...

Its existence was first mooted some 30 months ago by Professor Larry Summers at the 2013 IMF Research Conference. The existence of the FERIR was confirmed just this week by CERN’s particle equilibrator, the DSGEin.

...“We have shown that the FERIRequilibrates with and maintains the ZLB,” Professor Krugman explained. “So Larry’s discovery is really, really important”.

Now that economists have explained the persistence of the ZLB, they can now turn their attention to understanding its perverse effects. The real problem of the ZLB for economists has been that it inverts the status and behaviour of all other sub-economic particles. In particular:
  • Growth, which was high, is now low;
  • Inflation, which was bad & everywhere, is now good & nowhere;
  • CBs (“Central Banks”) which prevent inflation, now try to cause it; and
  • HMDs (“Helicopter Money Drops”) which were mad, are now sane
These inversions are causing real problems for economists, who find themselves arguing for policies they used to oppose. Professor Summers hopes that knowledge of the existence of the FERIR will make it easier for economists to argue that night is day and rainbows are grey, as they provide policy advice in these troubled times.

Monopolies should rule the world.

Fraud brings economic growth.

According to research for a GOTUM ( Grand Unification Theory of Money ), a necessary condition would be the existence of particle-antiparticle pairs. If so, an anti-FERIR particle could be an explanation for the UNREAL problems that are being caused by economists, in contrast to the real problems caused by inversions.

The difficulty, as I see it, is with the loose intrinsic properties of the particles. For example, each particle has an economic spin association. But, when being observed, the spin of the particle is affected. The PS ( Political Spin ) can change randomly depending upon whether a socialist economist, or a capitalist economist, is looking at it.
