The United States’ economy has exceeded recent expectations and the performance of many of our peer countries. However, current and future policy has the potential to undermine foundations of our economic performance, particularly if our political stability and quality of governance decline.
Please join the Niskanen Center and the Budget Lab at Yale for a webinar that will explore several perspectives on how increased political risk and declining governance quality could damage our credit rating, our investment environment, our ability to attract immigrants, and our economy.
Kate Davidson, Bloomberg's managing editor for U.S. economic policy, will moderate a panel featuring the following speakers:
- Ed Dolan, Senior Fellow, Niskanen Center. Author of the recent Niskanen paper, “Good data on good government: Reformers should take note as political philosophy meets statistics”
- Michael Strain, Director of Economic Studies, American Enterprise Institute
- Ernie Tedeschi, Director of Economics, The Budget Lab at Yale. Author of the recent Budget Lab at Yale report, “Political Risks to the U.S. Safe Harbor Premium"
