PRESENTATION OUTLINE

  • Near-Term U.S. Outlook (2019-2021)
    • Demand for labor expands, while supply of labor shrinks.
    • Are we near a wage-jumping, end-of-cycle dénoument? (that’s French for “brick wall”)
  • Long-Term U.S. Economic Outlook (2019-2060)
    • Employment growth down for sure; productivity growth uncertain (but not looking good)
    • Worker Δ% + Productivity Δ% = GDP Δ%: Still an iron law... even in the 2040s.
  • Long-Term Global Outlook (2019-2045)
    • Almost everywhere you look, older & slower-growing economies
    • Why very-long-term U.S. prospects are in our own "Quad 2" (& looking pretty good there)
  • Population Growth, Productivity, & Real Interest Rates
    • Introducing the neoclassical model
    • Exploring what determines “n” and “g” and “s”... and oh yes “the big r.”
  • Closing Thoughts
