Fresh Economic ThinkingFET #50: Mark Diesendorf on why a renewables grid is economicalA few weeks back, I had engineer Ben Beattie on the podcast to explain some of the unappreciated costs of transitioning to a renewable electricity grid. Before this, Aidan Morrison had explained how many of the costs required to deal with variation in when and where energy is produced from wind and solar were excluded from the (in)famous GenCost report from the CSIRO. Today, Professor Mark Diesendorf, who has studied the electricity grid and energy markets for many decades, provides the counterargument to these claims and makes the case that renewables will be cheaper...

Fresh Economic ThinkingFET #49: Explaining rental inflationIn a recent FET article, I explained how the rental market adjusts to inflation arising in non-housing goods and services. Find that article here:The key quote is this:Another insight from the rental equilibrium is that inflation in non-housing goods means that renter households can pay more for rent because that means giving up fewerother goods and services for an extra quantity or quality of housing. This is the opposite of what many people might expect. Some might think that if goods and services have risen in price then households have less left over...

Fresh Economic ThinkingFET #48: The "cheap renewables grid" myth with Ben BeattieElectrical engineer Ben Beattie runs The Baseload Podcast, providing “common sense and unfiltered commentary” on Australia’s energy sector. Given the enormous investments taking place now (and planned in the next decade) to transition Australia’s electricity grid to predominantly renewables, it is worth keeping a close eye on the engineering and economic realities at play. To know if the costs of the planned energy transition path make sense given the benefits, we at a bare minimum need to know the true costs.

Dr. Cameron Murray, an economist at the University of Sydney, is passionate about various areas, including environmental and resource economics, housing, grey corruption, and political favoritism.

Economics ExploredOdd way to fix housing crisis proposed by Aus. Gov’t: invest in stocks first w/ Dr Cameron Murray, Sydney Uni.The Australian Government has been having trouble getting its proposed Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) passed by the Senate.

We can't fix the housing crisis by gambling money on the stock market and not guaranteeing a single cent will be spent on housing.” In their dissenting report on the bill, the Greens’ cited the views of this episode’s guest, Dr Cameron Murray.

Nucleus Investment Insights3.45 Is Superannuation Distorting Investment Markets & in need of Reform? With Dr Cameron Murray | Nucleus Investment InsightsOur attention turns this week to what is most Australian's second biggest asset, Superannuation. Super means a lot things to every Australian. For some it's a tax efficient long term savings vehicle that if managed well can provide security and reassurance that retirement will be comfortable and reliable. For others it is an annoying, mandated deduction of their hard earned wages, robbing them of current opportunities and lifestyle.
