F8 Trumponomics: Winners and Losers
March 5, 2019 - 3:00-5:00 pm
Description: Trumponomics describes the economic policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, who won the November 8th 2016 election on the back of bold economic promises to cut personal and corporate taxes, restructure trade deals and introduce large fiscal stimulus measures focused on infrastructure and defense. Trump was not always clear and consistent about his policies, and when he was, they were often unorthodox enough to have unpredictable consequences. Yet on a few points, Trump was perfectly clear: he wanted to put curbs on immigration and trade, lower taxes on individuals and businesses, and increase spending on infrastructure projects. Using these and other tangible promises, economists hazarded guesses during the campaign about the effect Trump is likely to have on economic growth, the labor market and the national debt. Unsurprisingly, these predictions can vary widely.
