Please join us online for the launch and discussion of the forthcoming Working Paper, “The international economic implications of the Trump Program,” by Megan Hogan, Warwick J. McKibbin, and Marcus
Noland. The paper will be published on September 26 at 7:00 AM EDT.
Former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has campaigned on plans to increase tariffs and deport unauthorized immigrants, and he has said the president should have more influence over the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. The authors find these policy changes would harm the US economy—causing higher US inflation and lower employment and GDP than otherwise. The main sectors that would be hit are agriculture and durable manufacturing. Some of the world’s economies would benefit by some measures, while others would be damaged but not as much as the United States. A Q&A session with the audience will follow.
