Rising Expectations: Oh United States Economy, Whither Thou Goest?
Seminar Objective
Despite unabated inflationary pressures, the U.S. economy is still growing steadily. However, in the midst of uncertainty, the diagnosis and evaluations of the U.S. economic conditions are divided among experts.
On January 24, 2023, by welcoming a Harvard economist, CIGS held a video-recorded event entitled “Rising Expectations: Oh United States Economy, Whither Thou Goest?” We are concerned with the following issues:
(1) What are the key drivers of inflation?
(2) What is the most appropriate policy tool to address these key drivers of inflation?
(3) How can we interpret contradictory economic indicators?
(4) Which is the most likely scenario for this year?
(5) How might the current debt ceiling conflict affect this scenario?
The speaker is Jay Rosengard, Adjunct Lecturer, the Harvard Kennedy School, and the discussant is Tomoyuki Fukumoto, Professor of Economics, Osaka University of Economics. The chair of the event is Jun Kurihara, Research Director, CIGS.
