About Calculated Risk
Calculated Risk is a website that publishes analysis of economics, finance, and the housing market. On January 12, 2026, the author announced the end of daily blog updates after 21 years. The site continues with a weekly economic summary, delivered through a newsletter, and a Real Estate Newsletter published four to six times per week.
The weekly economic summary has three parts: the schedule of economic data for the following week, a review of the previous week's data, and commentary on a current topic. Earlier posts also covered market figures such as oil and gasoline prices, hotel occupancy, housing starts, and asking rents. The homepage labels the newsletter as ad free, and it also links to an advertising page. Pricing is not stated in the source.
