απολογία :  Our hope in providing these unauthorized transcripts is to help give some multimedia sites the web-searchable exposure they deserve. As well, we’d like to think we can enhance the user experience for certain key seminars by enabling direct access to their various parts and, in some cases, inserting cues for slide decks to better join up graphics with the authors’ voice-over commentary.

Transcript News

• 20 Nov 2009 - conversion of III.A to IV.C; VI.B to VI.C now (hopefully) complete.  Subprime VI.D now under construction.
• 19 Nov 2009 - The list of AEI Subprime Seminar transcripts is now presented in date order, and then in the context of other relevant AEI seminars that might one day receive transcripts.  HEADS UP: two of the transcripts will as a result get their designations changed.  the present sub III.A will become sub IV.C, and the present sub VI.B will become VI.C.
• 16 Nov 2009 - Sub VI complete annotated transcript posted. Working version retained here.
• 15 Nov 2009 - Sub III.B complete annotated transcript posted. Working version retained here.

• 16 Oct 2009 - Misc E, the CBC Current segment, has been withdrawn.  AEI’s Oct 9, 2009 event "No Way Out: Government Response to the Financial Crisis"²³ has been designated sub VI.C (was VI.B), and there’s a transcript under construction.
• 10 Oct 2009 - The Google cache technique no longer seems to be working for selected legacy transcripts, and the new-format AEI transcript links still appear to be broken.  On the other hand, Sub VI²² looks to be coming after all with the original all star cast, including Roubini, doing a wrap on the crisis
• 29 Sep 2009 - Sent a query for clarification about why AEI turned off the interns’ file.  Nothing definitive back yet.
• 28 Sep 2009 - Posted the list of AEI Interns’ Transcripts in date order in this post. Later updated with the news that all the links now appear to be disabled, and later still updated with the information that some of the URLs are still available from Google search caches (with very brief instructions on how to get stuff using the cache).  Interesting developments
• 27 Sep 2009 - The AEI Interns’ Transcripts section of this Guide is now complete and organized in date order.  The initial pass in old-style AEI event number order is preserved here.
• 23 Sep 2009 - Stumbled on the official AEI transcripts for sub III.B and sub sub 0.A. They are located in a rather odd place.  Started an AEI Interns’ Transcripts section of the Guide to document links to others.  Doesn’t appear to be anything for it other than walking up and down the possible old-style event numbers and just taking out all the transcripts we find.  We can pick out the ones that are significant to subprime origins, etc. later.
• 23 Sep 2009 - in sub III.B, Hassett presentation now coded. Des seems to think that Charlie and Kevin didn’t want us to see his slides.  We’ll be taking a look soon enough.
• 21 Sep 2009 - in sub III.B, Calomiris presentation now coded (sorry about the sketchy figure cues)
• 20 Sep 2009 - in sub III.B, Wallison intro now coded
• 19 Sep 2009 - Sub III.B, now under construction
• 19 Sep 2009 - Improvements to sub V.A are now complete.  The "V.A" links for participants and questioners are now live.
• 18 Sep 2009 - The April 28, 2008 AEI seminar "What Lies Beyond the Credit Crunch? Part II"²¹ has been designated "sub III.B".  Of course the ordering within a 6 month period depends on when I get to them, and not their chronological order.
• 18 Sep 2009 - I no longer expect a "sub VI" seminar per se, and have therefore designated section VI in the list as a general "Subprime Crisis Aftermath" placeholder.  The upcoming 22 Sep ‘09 seminar’s designation has thus been changed from "V.B" to "VI.A".
• 18 Sep 2009 - Improvements to sub V now complete.  The "V" links for participants and questioners are now live. Started improvements for sub V.A
• 18 Sep 2009 - Readers who would like an alternative opinion to the long-time GSE critics like Wallison, Ely and Makin featured here should read this very well written technical polemic.²⁰
• 15 Sep 2009 - Started building an improved version of sub V here.
• 13 Sep 2009 - sub IV.C (was III.A) is complete and has been posted here.  The build page has been retained here.  The links to parts will be re-organized sometime tomorrow.
• 12 Sep 2009 - in sub IV.C (was III.A), the Reinhart presentation has been coded.  What remains now to be coded there is the panel responses followed by the Q&A.
• 11 Sep 2009 - In sub IV.C (was III.A), the Lachman presentation and the Makin presentation have been coded.
• 09 Sep 2009 - Part 2 of today’s CBC The Current has been designated "misc E"
• 09 Sep 2009 - In sub IV.C (was III.A), the Calomiris presentation and the Hassett presentation have been coded.
• 08 Sep 2009 - In sub IV.C (was III.A), the Wallison Intro has been coded.  Because a Page article can’t accept comments, we’ve created an open thread to discuss the Guide under this post.  The AEI seminar "The Global Financial Crisis: A Plan for Regulatory Reform"¹⁹ is scheduled for 2 weeks from today and has been designated "sub V.B"
• 07 Sep 2009 - An under-construction transcript for sub IV.C (was III.A) has been started.  Transcription of the Peter Wallison introduction will be starting in due course.
• 07 Sep 2009 - Found and documented 4 old miscellaneous Doom transcripts There are likely a couple more hiding in dark corners of the Castle.  Misc A was our only foray into the scarier floors of AEI.
• 06 Sep 2009 - Created this guide and documented the existing AEI subprime transcripts.  To date there are 4 fully annotated ones and 2 other transcripts that are not yet fully annotated.  Transcripts subprime I, subprime II, subprime III and subprime IV are fully annotated and have now been fully documented in the Guide.  Transcript subprime V needs to be consolidated into one post and a Table of Contents with anchor links created. Transcript subprime V.A just requires the Table of Contents and the anchor links.  The lack of anchor links in these transcripts is why there aren’t links for "V" and "V.A" event codes for AEI subprime Participants and Questioners yet.  Transcripts subprime 0.Z (was O.A) and IV.C (was III.A) have not been started.  Subprime VI is theoretical.  AEI has not yet announced a date for their 6th seminar in the main series.

American Enterprise Institute Subprime Seminars

Analysis of the financial crisis by AEI’s economic and financial pundits consists generally of two waves. Their Housing GSEs Project contains much background leading up to the crisis. Following their key March 28, 2007 seminar, they refocused on "The Cascading Financial Crisis". AEI’s coverage of the crisis is anchored by their semi-annual series of subprime seminars, the events numbered I, II, III, … in the list below.  Other seminars relating to the crisis are placed in the context of these key ones (more or less in chronological order).

Online resources at the AEI are very extensive. What follows is a tiny proportion of their seminars for which Doom already has, or hopes someday to develop, supplementary annotated transcripts.

AEI Interns’ Transcripts

This one’s a bit weird.  The AEI event sites with official transcripts all seem to point at broken links.  However, an "interns" corner of AEI has hundreds of legacy transcripts.  Below are good links to about 573 that Doom was able to mine from the site from 23-26 September 2009.  I think we found most of them.

Our first quick-and-dirty sweep through the interns’ tree was in old-style event number order and, for what it’s worth, is preserved here.  The following is in date order and represents about a decade’s worth of very hard work by the transcribers, and considerable investment by the Institute and its donors.

Unfortunately, almost as soon as the full list was posted the URLs on the AEI site became unavailable.  However, as documented in the update section of this post, there remains (for a while — 9/29 ‘09) a way to recover most of the individual transcripts from Google search cache.

UPDATE (10/9 ‘08): The Google caches now appear to have been exhausted.  We’re left with just the 573 titles now until AEI’s webmaster gets around to fixing the official links.
