    Chronicling Chronicling 100 Years100 Years of the of the U.S. EconomyU.S. Economy March 2021 Volume 101, Number 3 Top Influencers The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and its journal, the Survey of Current Business, are respected sources of data on the health of our national economy due in large part to the individuals who influenced BEA and its predecessor agencies over the past century. From economic theory to the mechanics of producing reliable statistics, their contributions helped make BEA and its accounts the reliable, authoritative sources of economic data they are today. The Survey has chronicled the evolution of BEA's output for almost a century. As we celebrate the centennial of the Survey, some of these top influencers will be profiled on the centennial website. This month, we present economist Robert Eisner. Robert Eisner Extending the National Economic Accounts By Ralph Rodriguez In depicting the traits of whom he called the “master economist,” John Maynard Keynes once wrote, “He must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought.”1 Robert Eisner—economist, advisor, and perpetual educator—masterfully wove the empirical and theoretical to help shape the system of economic measurement in the United States and across the globe. Eisner was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1922. After earning his M.A. from Columbia University in 1942, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in France during World War II. After the war, he would marry and go Robert Eisner on to earn his Ph.D.

Among the questions we answer are the following. Did the United States in!ate away much of the debt by using in!ation to pay negative real rates of return? Occasionally, but not usually. Did high net-of-interest de"cits propel the debt-GDP ratio upward? Considerably during World War II, but not too much after that.

  • Robert Eisner's Common Sense Commitment to Full Employment and Activist Fiscal Policy
    JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ISSUES jei Vol. XXXIII No. 2 June 1999 Roundtable on Employment Policy Introduction: Robert Eisner's Common Sense Commitment to Full Employment and Activist Fiscal Policy Mathew Forstater When Robert Eisner was invited to participate in the AFEE Roundtable on Em- ployment Policy, he not only accepted the invitation on the spot, but also immedi- ately said that he would speak about "Employment Policy and the NAIRU." For years, he insisted that the NAIRU was a theoretically flawed and socially harmful concept justifying the politically enforced unemployment of milhons of workers in the name of price stability. Eisner saw the recent drop in the official unemployment rate to well below 5 percent without any signs of inflation whatsoever as an oppor- tunity to slay the NAIRU dragon once and for all. Activist fiscal poUcy should be utilized to push the official rate down further and promote full employment. Follow- ing his death on November 25, 1998, at age 76, the Roundtable participants, Wil- liam A. Darity Jr., Mathew Forstater, James K. Gaibraith, Philip Harvey, Robert Kuttner, and L. Randall Wray, with the support of AFEE conference organizer Ronnie J. Philhps and Journal of Economic Issues editor Anne Mayhew, decided to dedicate the Roundtable and this symposium to Robert Eisner's life and work. While Eisner was a gifted technical economist, no doubt contributing to his rec- ognition within the mainstream of the discipline (e.g., his election as president of the American Economics Association in 1987), his ideas were rooted in something missing from much of the disciphne: common sense.

GROWTH AND EQUITY WITH ENDOGENOUS HUMAN CAPITAL: TAIWAN'S ECONOMIC MIRACLE REVISITED Maw-Lin Lee University of Missouri Ben-Chieh Liu Chicago State University Ping Wang Pennsylvania State University and Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas May 1993 ABSTRACT: We adopt an endogenous growth model to reexamine the major determi­ nants of economic growth, income distribution and their dynamic interactions in a newly­ industrialized country, Taiwan, 1964-1986. 3SLS estimations from a four-equation system indicate that human capital evolution was crucial in achieving Taiwan's economic miracle: the rapid human capital accumulation enlarged the labor income share, which, coupled with an increased use of progressive labor income taxes, led also to a more equitable distribution of income. This finding therefore supplements, in part, the Kuznets hypothesis in explaining the development processes in several newly industrialized economies in general and in Taiwan in particular.

  • Perspectives on High World Real Interest Rates
    OLIVIER J. BLANCHARD MassachusettsInstitute of Technology LAWRENCE H. SUMMERS HarvardUniversity Perspectives on High World Real Interest Rates REAL INTEREST RATES in the United States have reached extremely high levels in the last several years. This surge in real rates at all maturities has not lacked explanations. Large current and prospective deficits, tight money, better profit prospects, financial deregulation, and in- creased uncertaintyare among the factors that have been blamed for high real rates. If one looks only at the performanceof the U.S. bond market,it is difficultto discriminateamong possible explanationsfor the behavior of real interest rates. This paper examines the worldwide behavior of interest rates and the performanceof other asset markets besides the U.S. bond marketin orderto better explainhigh real rates. Even a cursory inspection of the data makes it clear that high real rates are a worldwidephenomenon. In nearlyall the majorcountries of the Organizationfor Economic Cooperationand Development(OECD), real interest rates on both short- and long-term bonds have risen dramatically.This is not surprising.Interest rates today are substantially determinedworldwide, ratherthan domestically, because a large pool of capitalflows toward nations with high real rates, tendingto equalize ratesaround the world. Thus, it is appropriateto relate nationalinterest We havebenefited from many discussions and comments from colleagues and members of the BrookingsPanel. We also want to thankJohn Campbell,Bernard Connolly, Pentti Kouri,P. A.
