Tim Harford, as an Undercover Statistician, why do you agree with the Basel Committee?
Sir, I refer to Tim Harford’s “Everything you need to know about statistics — on a postcard” February 10.
After reading it, I have one question for the Undercover Economist/Statistician, namely:
Why do you agree with the regulators’ statistics who, with their risk weighted capital requirements, opine that what is perceived as risky is more dangerous to the bank system than what is perceived as safe? Is that not crazy?
