I take a few different looks at the monthly additions into the Legacy Fund and see some interesting monthly breakouts.
Additions to the Legacy Fund
Legacy Fund Investment Income
Frequent calls and newspaper editorials make it seem like it is time to take a deeper dive on the Legacy Fund. I am not a fan of such approaches but it is here and the best thing to do is talk about how to move forward.
Real and Nominal Minimum Wage
A frequent caller to my radio show talks about the eroded value of the minimum wage, so I thought I would generate a data series to make the discussion clearer.
Grand Forks Sales Tax Collections
I give an updated look at the forecast for sales tax collections in Grand Forks. There are statistical issues with the forecast but corrections are in the works.
Oil Boom but no baby boom in ND?
Just some musings and thoughts related to oil and fertility in North Dakota.
