I'd like to re-iterate a comment I made in the last post: the information transfer model doesn't explain everything on its own, There are some obvious and genuine effects of the oil price spikes in 1973 and 1979 that the model doesn't capture. That is what happens when a particular market (in this case, oil) becomes important and you can't just assume thousands of random markets.

Also, try to avoid the use of dollar signs as they interfere with my setup of mathjax. I left it set up that way because I think this is funny for an economics blog. You can use € or £ instead.
