In case you missed it, the Sunday New York Times highlights the online debate between Greg Mankiw and Frank Pasquale. The debate centers on Mankiw’s paper with Matthew Weinzierl entitled “The Optimal Taxation of Height.” In the NYT’s “What’s Online” section, Dan Mitchell discusses the paper as well as the response from Pasquale at Concurring Opinions. The Times coverage has prompted Mankiw to respond here. An interesting example of the interaction between scholarship, traditional media, and blogs.
