  • Inattentive Consumers
    Inattentive Consumers Ricardo Reis∗ Department of Economics and Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA Abstract This paper studies the consumption decisions of agents who face costs of acquiring, absorbing and processing information. These consumers rationally choose to only sporadically update their information and re-compute their optimal consumption plans. In between updating dates, they remain inattentive. This behavior implies that news disperses slowly throughout the population, so events have a gradual and delayed effect on aggregate consumption. The model predicts that aggregate consumption adjusts slowly to shocks, and is able to explain the excess sensitivity and excess smoothness puzzles. In addition, individual consumption is sensitive to ordinary and unexpected past news, but it is not sensitive to extraordinary or predictable events. The model further predicts that some people rationally choose to not plan, live hand-to-mouth, and save less, while other people sporadically update their plans. The longer are these plans, the more they save. Evidence using U.S. aggregate and microeconomic data generally supports these predictions.

NBER Working Paper #1303 March 1984 Bequests as a Means of Payment ABSTRACT Although recent research suggests that intergenerational transfers play an important role in aggregate capital accumulation, our understanding of bequest motives remains incomplete. We develop a simple model of "exchange—motivated" bequests, in which a testator influences the decisions of his beneficiaries by holding wealth in bequeathable forms and by conditioning the division of bequests on the beneficiaries' actions. The model generates falsifiable empirical predictions which are inconsistent with other theories of intergenerational transfers. We present econometric and other evidence which strongly suggests that bequests are often used as a means of payment for services rendered by beneficiaries. B.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AID ECONOMIC GROUTS Nathan Rosenberg Professor of Economics Stanford University This paper has been prepared for presentation at the 1987 Annual meeting of the AAAS, Chicago, 14 February 1987. My primary concern in this paper will be with certain aspects of the so- called high technology industries that are, I believe, highly relevant to America's economic growth prospects. The most direct way in which these aspects are relevant to economic growth is that they directly affect the country's ability to maintain or to improve its competitiveness in world markets. The term "science" appears in the title of this paper because the high technology industries with which I will be primarily concerned are, by common definition, those in which scientific inputs loom large - whether these inputs are measured in terms of the number of scientifically trained personnel or expenditures upon research and development (R&D).

  • Stuck! the Law and Economics of Residential Stagnation
    DAVID SCHLEICHER Stuck! The Law and Economics of Residential Stagnation ABSTRACT. America has become a nation of homebodies. Rates of interstate mobility, by most estimates, have been falling for decades. Interstate mobility rates are particularly low and stagnant among disadvantaged groups -despite a growing connection between mobility and economic opportunity. Perhaps most importantly, mobility is declining in regions where it is needed most. Americans are not leaving places hit by economic crises, resulting in unemploy- ment rates and low wages that linger in these areas for decades. And people are not moving to rich regions where the highest wages are available. This Article advances two central claims. First, declining interstate mobility rates create problems for federal macroeconomic policymaking. Low rates of interstate mobility make it harder for the Federal Reserve to meet both sides of its "dual mandate": ensuring both stable prices and maximum employment. Low interstate mobility rates also impair the efficacy and affordability of federal safety net programs that rely on state and local participation, and reduce wealth and growth by inhibiting agglomeration economies. While determining an optimal rate of interstate mobility is difficult, policies that unnaturally inhibit interstate moves worsen na- tional economic problems. Second, the Article argues that governments, mostly at the state and local levels, have creat- ed a huge number of legal barriers to interstate mobility. Land-use laws and occupational licens- ing regimes limit entry into local and state labor markets. Different eligibility standards for pub- lic benefits, public employee pension policies, homeownership subsidies, state and local tax regimes, and even basic property law rules inhibit exit from low-opportunity states and cities.

Y. 10016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The National Bureau of Economic Research was organized in 1920 in response to a growing demand for objective deter- mination of the facts bearing upon economic problems, and for their interpretation in an impartial manner. The National Bureau concentrates on topics of national importance that are susceptible of scientific treatment. The National Bureau seeks not merely to determine and interpret important economic facts, but to do so under such auspices and with such safeguards as shall make its findings carry conviction to all sections of the nation. No report of the research staff may be published without the approval of the Board of Directors. Rigid provisions guard the National Bureau from becoming a source of profit to its members, directors, or officers, and from becoming an agency for propaganda. By issuing its findings in the form of scientific reports, en- tirely divorced from recommendations on policy, the National Bureau hopes to aid all thoughtful men, however divergent their views of public policy, to base their discussions upon objective knowledge as distinguished from subjective opinion.

  • Economists Agree: We Need More COVID Relief Now
    GOP Economists Agree: We Need More COVID Relief Now “Absolutely [in favor of the $1.9 trillion proposed American Rescue Plan]...The idea that you shouldn’t act right now is not consistent with the real time data…I would 100% support additional checks to people.” — Kevin Hassett, Former Economic Advisor to President Trump and former advisor to Sen. Romney “The $900 billion package that was passed a few weeks ago...all runs out by sometime in mid-March...That means hard-pressed Americans that are unemployed, have back rent, student loan payments, need food assistance, they’re going to need more help.” — Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics who has advised lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including Sen. John McCain “One lesson from the financial crisis is that you want to be careful about doing too little.” — R. Glenn Hubbard, Former Economic Advisor to President George W. Bush and Sen. McCain “There are times to worry about the growing government debt. This is not one of them.” — Greg Mankiw, Former Economic Advisor to President George W. Bush and Sen. Mitt Romney “Additional fiscal support could be costly, but worth it if it helps avoid long-term economic damage and leaves us with a stronger recovery.” — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell The Bottom Line: Now is the time for bold public investment to rescue the economy from the COVID economic crisis. Failure to do so could spell disaster for our communities, families, businesses, and economy..

Hsu 105 election, income and wealth inequality have clearly become centrally important political issues. Even among Harvard Business School alumni, 63% believe that reducing inequality should be a “high” or “very high” priority.3 Concurrently, though less fervently, antitrust law has entered public discourse as a social ordering problem, as large, consolidated “super-firms”4 have grabbed ominously large market shares, limited consumer choices, and threatened to render local provi- sion of goods and services anachronistic. As disquiet grows over their ubiquity and their dis- placement of local institutions—and sometimes their treatment of customers—some have looked to antitrust laws to slow this trend. It is thus unsurprising that inequality and antitrust law should be joined from time to time. Unrest in these areas has brewed for decades, received heightened attention after the global financial crisis of 2008, and exploded into politics recently as populist anger.

  • On the Mechanics of Economic Development*
    Journal of Monetary Economics 22 (1988) 3-42. North-Holland ON THE MECHANICS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT* Robert E. LUCAS, Jr. University of Chicago, Chicago, 1L 60637, USA Received August 1987, final version received February 1988 This paper considers the prospects for constructing a neoclassical theory of growth and interna­ tional trade that is consistent with some of the main features of economic development. Three models are considered and compared to evidence: a model emphasizing physical capital accumula­ tion and technological change, a model emphasizing human capital accumulation through school­ ing. and a model emphasizing specialized human capital accumulation through learning-by-doing. 1. Introduction By the problem of economic development I mean simply the problem of accounting for the observed pattern, across countries and across time, in levels and rates of growth of per capita income. This may seem too narrow a definition, and perhaps it is, but thinking about income patterns will neces­ sarily involve us in thinking about many other aspects of societies too. so I would suggest that we withhold judgment on the scope of this definition until we have a clearer idea of where it leads us. The main features of levels and rates of growth of national incomes are well enough known to all of us, but I want to begin with a few numbers, so as to set a quantitative tone and to keep us from getting mired in the wrong kind of details. Unless I say otherwise, all figures are from the World Bank's World Development Report of 1983. The diversity across countries in measured per capita income levels is literally too great to be believed.

  • Goldman Sachs – “Beyond 2020: Post-Election Policies”
    Note: The following is a redacted version of the original report published October 1, 2020 [27 pgs]. Global Macro ISSUE 93| October 1, 2020 | 7:20 PM EDT U Research $$$$ $$$$ TOPof BEYOND 2020: MIND POST-ELECTION POLICIES The US presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious and consequential in modern history, making its potential policy, growth and market implications Top of Mind. We discuss the candidates’ economic policy priorities with Kevin Hassett, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Trump, and Jared Bernstein, economic advisor to former Vice President Biden. For perspectives on US foreign policy, we speak with Eurasia Group’s Ian Bremmer, who sees significant alignment between the candidates on many key foreign policy issues—including trade. We then assess the impacts of various election outcomes, concluding that a Democratic sweep could lead to higher inflation, an earlier Fed liftoff, and a positive change in the output gap, which we see as negative for the Dollar and credit markets, roughly neutral for US equities and oil, and positive for some EM assets. Finally, we turn to the actual race and ask Stanford law professor Nathaniel Persily a key question today: how and when would a contested election be resolved? WHAT’S INSIDE The president is very likely to pursue an infrastructure “package in a second term, and is probably prepared to INTERVIEWS WITH: recommend legislation amounting to up to $2tn of Kevin Hassett, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in infrastructure

  • An Analysis of Vice President Biden's Economic Agenda
    A HOOVER INSTITUTION STUDY An Analysis of Vice President Biden’s Economic Agenda: The Long Run Impacts of Its Regulation, Taxes, and Spending* Institution Hoover TIMOTHY FITZGERALD, KEVIN HASSETT, CODY KALLEN, AND CASEY B. MULLIGAN We estimate possible effects of Joe Biden’s tax and regulatory agenda. We find that transportation and electricity will require more inputs to produce the same outputs due to ambitious plans to further cut the nation’s carbon emissions, resulting in one or two percent less total factor productivity nationally. Second, we find that proposed changes to regulation as well as to the ACA increase labor wedges. Third, Biden’s agenda increases average marginal tax rates on capital income. Assuming that the supply of capital is elastic in the long run to its after-tax return and that the substitution effect of wages on labor supply is nontrivial, we conclude that, in the long run, Biden’s full agenda reduces full- time equivalent employment per person by about 3 percent, the capital stock per person by about 15 percent, real GDP per capita by more than 8 percent, and real consumption per household by about 7 percent. I. Introduction Advancing equality, environmental protection and other social goals involves tradeoffs. The purpose of this paper is to quantify possible economic effects of the Biden agenda. Vice President Biden proposes to • reverse some of the 2017 tax cuts as well as increase the taxation of corporations and high-income households and pass through entities; • reverse much of the regulatory reform of the past three years as well as setting new environmental standards; and • create or expand subsidies for, especially, health insurance and renewable energy.
