FT-Booth Survey of Macroeconomists: Whose Platform Is More Inflationary/Deficit Expanding?


From the September survey, as shown in yesterday’s FT:

It’s amazing to me that there’re 3% of respondents that say the Harris platform is more inflationary. Of course, with 37 respondents, that’s one economist. Almost as surprising is that 11% (3 respondents) say the Harris platform would induce larger deficits.

Forecasts of GDP from the survey are discussed in this post. Survey results are here (ungated).
