A Guide to the Housing Crisis: Ten Questions and Answers
As Congress recently passed the $700 billion financial rescue plan, many people are trying to understand how our financial institutions got into so much trouble in the first place, and why the government had to take action to bail them out. In a new issue brief,“A Guide to the Housing Crisis: Ten Questions and Answers,” economist and senior fellow Bernard Wasow answers ten crucial questions about the housing crisis. Download the brief (PDF). Read the press release.
The Agenda: Getting More Value from Medicare
In “Getting More Value from Medicare,” The Century Foundation, fellow and HealthBeat Blog editor Maggie Mahar (www.healthbeatblog.org) points out that past proposals for containing Medicare’s costs, such as putting a cap on physicians’ fees or requiring beneficiaries to pay more for their care, have not worked. She calls for a fundamental set of reforms that would not only save money but also improve the quality of care that beneficiaries receive. Download the Agenda here.
This is the third brief in The Agenda series. These briefs raise and answer fundamental questions about what is at stake in critical issue areas as we approach the 2008 election. View Fixing No Child Left Behind and Reinventing Transparent Government.
The New American Economy: A Rising Tide that Lifts Only Yachts The Reality Check Series for the 2008 Elections
The Century Foundation originally published the Reality Check series throughout 2004 to provide an essential resource for journalists, legislators, congressional staff, and anyone who wanted facts and analysis important to the election year's debates. A number of these publications have been updated in time for the 2008 elections. In The New American Economy: A Rising Tide that Lifts Only Yachts, Bernard Wasow writes that contrary to the conventional wisdom, the fruits of economic growth are flowing to a small percentage of the population. View the other updated publications here.
Voting in 2008: Ten Swing States
As election officials brace for record-breaking voter turnout on Election Day, a close examination of voting preparedness in 10 swing states shows that significant problems in the basic functions of the American election administration system persist, and in a few cases have worsened over the last few years, a new report by Common Cause and The Century Foundation shows. The report, “Voting in 2008: 10 Swing States,” examined what, if any, progress has been made since 2006 in seven battleground states: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In addition, Colorado, New Mexico and Virginia, whose new status as likely swing states, have also been included. Download the PDF here. This report has been featured on CNN.
Moral Hazards of Financial Innovation

Bernard Wasow
10/10/2008
With home prices plunging, today the housing market is operating outside historical experience. Contracts that were written informed by the record of the last 50 years are proving impossible to fulfill. Financial institutions simply do not have the capital to meet their commitments. More...
 
Reforming Medicare: Options, Tradeoffs, and Opportunities
Everyone agrees on the need to reform Medicare but not on how to do it. Some argue the program is too comprehensive, others that it is not comprehensive enough. Some suggest it pays too much for health care, others, too little. Meanwhile, the financial stakes continue to mount. Medicare spending exceeded $400 billion in 2007, making it more expensive than the entire health systems of most other nations, as well as the largest national public program other than Social Security and national defense.

Spin Cycle: How Research Is Used in Policy Debates: The Case of Charter Schools
One important aim of social science research is to provide unbiased information that can help guide public policies. However, social science is often construed as politics by other means. Nowhere is the polarized nature of social science research more visible than in the heated debate over charter schools. In Spin Cycle, noted political scientist and education expert Jeffrey Henig explores how controversies over the charter school movement illustrate the use and misuse of research in policy debates.
