GOOLSBEE University of Chicago Investment, Overhang, and Tax Policy THE PAST DECADE HAS seen an unusual pattern of investment. The boom of the 1990s generated unusually high investment rates, particularly in equipment, and the bust of the 2000s witnessed an unusually large decline in investment. A drop in equipment investment normally accounts for about 10 to 20 percent of the decline in GDP during a recession; in the 2001 recession, however, it accounted for 120 percent.1 In the public mind, the recent boom and bust in investment are directly linked due to “capital overhang.” Although the term is not very precisely defined, this view generally holds that excess investment in the 1990s, fueled by an asset price bubble, left corporations with excess capital stocks, and therefore no demand for investment, during the 2000s. The popular view also holds that these conditions will continue until normal economic growth eliminates the overhang and, consequently, that there is little policymakers can do to remedy the situation, by subsidizing invest- ment with tax policy, for example. Variants on this view have been espoused by private sector analysts and economists,2 and the notion of a We thank Mark Veblen and James Zeitler for their invaluable research assistance, as well as Alan Auerbach, Kevin Hassett, John Leahy, Joel Slemrod, and participants at the Brookings Panel conference for their comments.

  • Obama: NAFTA Not So Bad After All the Democratic Nominee, in an Interview with Fortune, Says He Wants Free Trade "To Work for All People."
    Anexo 2. Obama hace declaraciones sobre el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte. Obama: NAFTA not so bad after all The Democratic nominee, in an interview with Fortune, says he wants free trade "to work for all people." WASHINGTON (Fortune) -- The general campaign is on, independent voters are up for grabs, and Barack Obama is toning down his populist rhetoric - at least when it comes to free trade. In an interview with Fortune to be featured in the magazine's upcoming issue, the presumptive Democratic nominee backed off his harshest attacks on the free trade agreement and indicated he didn't want to unilaterally reopen negotiations on NAFTA. "Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified," he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA "devastating" and "a big mistake," despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy. Does that mean his rhetoric was overheated and amplified? "Politicians are always guilty of that, and I don't exempt myself," he answered. Obama says he believes in "opening up a dialogue" with trading partners Canada and Mexico "and figuring to how we can make this work for all people." Obama spokesman Bill Burton said that Obama-as the candidate noted in Fortune's interview-has not changed his core position on NAFTA, and that he has always said he would talk to the leaders of Canada and Mexico in an effort to include enforceable labor and environmental standards in the pact. 99 Nevertheless, Obama's tone stands in marked contrast to his primary campaign's anti-NAFTA fusillades.

KEARNEY and AMY GANZ FEBRUARY 2019 Acknowledgements We are grateful to the members of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group, whose questions, suggestions, and discussion were the motivation for this book.

  • Narrowing the Gap: ESG White Paper
    Narrowing the Gap Why long-term investors and corporate leaders should view addressing economic inequality and improving diversity as critical forms of risk management. March 2021 Slow and steady wins the race. Narrowing the Gap March 2021 By John T. Oxtoby and Leah Yablonka Why long-term investors and corporate leaders should view addressing economic inequality and improving diversity as critical forms of risk management. Successful long-term investing requires a comprehensive view of the micro- and macro-level risks that threaten a company’s growth and viability, both at the macro and the micro levels. At Ariel Investments, we believe there is overwhelming evidence that economic inequality—particularly the wealth gap between Black and white Americans—poses a major threat to U.S. corporations at both levels. The events of 2020 drew heightened attention to the issue of economic inequality across Corporate America and the investor community.
