Gerald:

Thanks but it seems that John did not answer my questions regarding  
the priority placed by economists on analysis of business cycles and  
bubble/crash events.

What is the number of PhD students working on the topic, for  
instance?  How did the profession respond to the Fed-organized 90's  
conference on the topic?  Or to Carlota Perez's publications?

I am a Wall Street technology equities analyst.  I can only ask  
economists what has been going on in their field.  My own efforts to  
survey their research will, of necessity, be partial at best.  I have  
asked as many economists as I can and have searched where I could.  I  
came up with nothing -- which I am reporting.

If I am wrong I invite corrections.  So far none have been offered.   
Are you correcting me?  Do you know the answers to these questions?
