Links in the NBER working paper version of the housing wealth paper give the url path for the Fed memo as http://econ.jhu.edu/people/ccarroll/papers/FedHouseWealthv2.pdf The web page used to link to the files in this directory As of 2006-12-06, I have concluded that it is best to make the permanent location of the files correspond to what is in the NBER working paper But in order to retain (at least temporarily) the functionality of any links that may have been created to the papers based on the web page, I am leaving a copy of the papers in the subdirectory in which this README resides. At some future point it will probably be desirable to delete the subdirectory.
