      Are negative yields simply reflecting, not a surplus of capital, but rather a shortage of talent?https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-09-13/negative-interest-rates-could-their-cause-be-a-labor-shortage …

      It's a little scary to us non-economists that you economists are still unsure what's causing negative yields.

          Economists are the wrong people to ask. Ask the people buying the bonds and you'll get clearer answers.

          Relatively few bonds behind issued as well?

          It's usually more scary to me when an economist is dead certain what is causing some complex phenomena.

          Economists write papers for other economists to read. Money weighted bets are more elegant. Insert Buffett’s quote on companies hiring an economist having one too many.

          When the people that control your money are fighting over how that money should be controlled it's time to worry.

          I find it rather reassuring myself. I worry about what would happen if economics started to actually work well.

          Well it’s all about QE. The question is, why do we need QE to support 2% GDP growth?

          There is a popular citation by Economists themselves, since 1950s that " Whenever Three Economists meet there are Four Opinions".
