Biden's economists claim that their family policies would increase labor supply, which is reasonable 4/ https://t.co/RvSdO47M3Y — PolitiTweet.org

One way to measure these effects is to look at growth between business cycle peaks. So, how did the economy fare between 1973 and 1979, amid oil shocks etc? 2.92% growth. How did it fare between 1979 and 1989, after Reagan's miraculous tax cuts? 3.05% growth 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

No bombastic boasts about incredible economic growth — because the Bidenites aren't that kind of people, and history has been unkind to such boasts. Policy can cure or cause recessions, but long-run growth is hard to change 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Many people drawing analogies with Korean War boom/inflation. Fwiw, CBO estimates huge output gap: >4% of potential GDP. Big inflation surge — but entirely transitory https://t.co/M6VqZ1nzqi — PolitiTweet.org

As I read it, there are two propositions being suggested. 1. The Fed can't rein in an overheating economy without causing a recession 2. The Fed can't rein in the economy without a recession if it waits until inflation is embedded in expectations and contracts 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Traditional peer review has fallen on hard times. But the quick back and forth among people who know their field serves a similar purpose, and maybe better. Think of the 2010-13 debate over fiscal policy; I'd stack that against any great econ debates of the past 7/ — PolitiTweet.org

In particular, a lot of econ Twitter is summaries of and links to working papers. So it isn't actually casual and sloppy; more like abstracts for serious work. And the work is indeed serious, with tough questions and debate, informed by data, taking place in real time 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
