Podcasts about chief economists

The restaurant and food service industry is the nation's second-largest private-sector employer, trailing only healthcare. How this industry performs is vital to the American economy, its millions of workers, and their customers. According to a recent National Restaurant Association survey, 60% of Americans consider dining out essential to their lifestyle, prioritizing it over electronics, clothing, and even entertainment. Yet, a massive disconnect remains: 7 in 10 Americans say they would dine out more if they could afford it, while 60% of restaurant owners reported a drop in foot traffic last year. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster spoke with Dr. Chad Moutray, the National Restaurant Association's Chief Economist, about the state of the restaurant industry and why he is cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. Moutray discusses how dining trends, inflation, and delivery apps are impacting eateries both big and small. While we often have to cut interviews short during the week, we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Dr. Chad Moutray so you can learn more about the reality of dining out in today's economy. Learn more about your ad choices.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!The recent Supreme Court decision outlawing the “Liberation Day” tariffs has added another level of uncertainty to the financial outlook of American retailers. Join Shelley and Dan Altman, chief economist and bestselling author of the High Yield Economics newsletter, as they zero in on what the ruling will trigger for retailers and consumers. They discuss whether companies will claw back the tariffs they have paid. Dan says that although companies and the government have records of the money that was paid, it could be sorted out but would be extremely messy.  He adds it would be nearly impossible to refund consumers by tracing those purchases to specific people. Ultimately, with the change in tariffs retailers will have higher margins, so, will prices come down? Dan cautions, “We have seen the economy in a sort of paralysis, both in the job market and in investment plans, because people didn't know where these economic policies were going to land. But now we've opened up all this uncertainty again.” This candid conversation puts the challenges facing retailers squarely on the table predicting that small businesses will take the brunt of economic uncertainty over the next 12 months. Listen and learn how an economist clears the air on tariff chaos.Special Guest: Dan Altman, Chief Economist and Bestselling Author, High Yield Economics For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Today, we review energy supply and demand and some of the key sentiments coming out of International Energy Week, not only about where both those curves are headed, but also key associated risks to each. Are our assumptions correct about energy demand in the world of AI? Are our assumptions correct around development curves, especially in the Global South? Is there a hydrocarbon glut out there? And what about the long term? All this comes to us from Claudio Galimberti, Chief Economist at Rystad, and their recently published House View. Rystad is an energy consulting and market analytics firm with over 40 offices around the world and headquartered in Oslo.

Ukraine will emerge from this war with enormous debt. The conventional wisdom treats that as an obstacle: investors weigh it before committing capital, and the burden slows the recovery before it starts. Yuriy Gorodnichenko and Maurice Obstfeld of UC Berkeley argue the opposite. A thorough restructuring of Ukraine's war debts – including, for sufficiently large obligations, outright forgiveness – is not just politically defensible but economically essential for attracting private investment. The bill for rebuilding and growing Ukraine, Gorodnichenko estimates, is $40 billion a year: $20 billion to replace destroyed capital, $10 billion to stop Ukraine falling behind its Eastern European peers, and $10 billion to start closing the gap. Put that figure next to what Poland absorbed in FDI during its post-communist transition, or the €200 billion of Russian state assets currently immobilised in Euroclear, or the budgetary support Ukraine has been receiving since 2022 – and it looks achievable. The harder challenge, they argue, is not raising $40 billion. It is directing it: towards investment rather than consumption. Ukraine didn't grow in the post-Soviet era at the rate that its neighbours achieved. EU accession momentum and secure borders can be a signal to investors that this time the trajectory will be different.The research behind this episode:Gorodnichenko, Yuriy, and Maurice Obstfeld. 2026.

His research spans monetary policy, fiscal policy, and the macroeconomics of growth and business cycles.Maurice Obstfeld is a CEPR Distinguished Fellow and Class of 1958 Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. He served as Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund from 2015 to 2018, and as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama from 2014 to 2015. He is also a Fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.Research cited in this episodeThe discussion of debt overhang draws on a body of work from the 1980s developing-country debt crises, notably the insight that for sufficiently indebted countries, debt reduction can increase the expected value of what creditors recover. Gorodnichenko and Obstfeld apply this framework directly to Ukraine's war debts, arguing that deep restructuring – supported by bilateral official creditors, many of whom are European – is a prerequisite for private investment to follow.The €200 billion figure for immobilised Russian central bank assets held at Euroclear is the basis for Obstfeld's proposal of a reparations loan that would give Ukraine immediate access to large-scale resources, with repayment contingent on Russian reparations. This is discussed in more detail in the related reading below.More in the "What's Next for Ukraine?" seriesThis episode is the first in a three-part series based on papers presented at the inaugural Economic Policy winter conference, Paris, December 2025.

Particulate matter is, Michael Greenstone argues, the greatest public health threat on the planet. Worse than HIV, cigarettes, and alcohol. The average person  loses about two years of life expectancy to it. In India, the figure is three and a half years. The solution to this problem has been tested, and it works, at least in high-income countries.Greenstone and his co-authors ran a randomised controlled trial in Surat, Gujarat: from 300 industrial plants, mostly making textiles, all burning coal, half were randomly assigned to a market where pollution permits could be bought and sold. The results: in the market, pollution fell 25%, compliance was near-perfect, and abatement costs dropped 12%. The cost-benefit ratio is as high as 200 to one. Many plants in the control group asked to be moved into the market.The research behind this episode:Greenstone, Michael, Rohini Pande, Nicholas Ryan, and Anant Sudarshan. 2025.

His research focuses on the costs and benefits of environmental quality, including the Air Quality Life Index, which tracks the toll of particulate pollution country by country. He previously served as Chief Economist for the President's Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. Research cited in this episodeAir Quality Life Index (AQLI), Energy Policy Institute at Chicago. The source of the life-expectancy statistics used in this episode: particulate pollution costs the average person on Earth roughly two years of life expectancy, with India averaging three and a half years. The index tracks this burden country by country, city by city.The US sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade programme, established under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, was the canonical precedent Greenstone cited: a market that dramatically reduced acid rain in the eastern United States at costs far below pre-programme projections. He noted that the UK and EU have since built comparable CO2 markets. All have worked well. The question this experiment addressed was whether the same logic held in the developing world, where almost all the pollution now is.Emissions Market Accelerator.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Dr. Arthur Laffer to the show. Mr. Laffer is a Renowned American Economist and Best-Selling Author. In this wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Laffer provides deep insights into economic policy, drawing from his extensive experience as an economist and advisor to President Reagan. Dr. Laffer emphasizes the importance of five key pillars of economic prosperity: taxes, spending, monetary policy, regulatory policy, and trade policy. He argues that lower tax rates, spending restraint, sound monetary policy, minimal regulations, and free trade are essential for economic growth. Reflecting on his work with Reagan, he highlights how reducing tax rates from 70% to 28% and implementing strategic monetary policies transformed the US economy. Discussing current economic challenges, Dr. Laffer is optimistic about the US economy. He addresses concerns about national debt, arguing that while the numbers appear large, they are not as dire as they seem when considering debt-to-wealth ratios and debt service costs. He warns against income redistribution policies, presenting a mathematical theorem that demonstrates how such transfers invariably reduce total economic production. On monetary policy, Dr. Laffer criticizes recent Federal Reserve approaches, advocating for a price rule similar to the gold standard. He sees gold and cryptocurrencies as refuges from poor monetary management, believing private market solutions can create more stable currencies. He’s particularly impressed with stablecoins like Tether and their potential to provide monetary alternatives. Regarding global trade and geopolitics, Dr. Laffer advocates for peace through economic strength. He believes in free trade and mutual prosperity, arguing that countries should focus on becoming trading partners rather than adversaries. He’s critical of over-regulation and redistributionist policies in Europe and supports market-driven solutions to challenges like climate change. Throughout the interview, Dr. Laffer’s core message remains consistent: economic prosperity comes from creating incentives for production, minimizing government intervention, and allowing free markets to solve problems.

Laffer is one of the most influential economic minds of the last century. He is best known for the Laffer Curve, a groundbreaking theoretical construct illustrating the critical tradeoff between tax rates and government revenue—an idea Time Magazine named one of the few advances that “powered the 20th century”. Dr. Laffer's career spans the highest levels of academia and public policy. He served as the first Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget and was a core member of President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board during both terms. His counsel was instrumental in triggering the global tax-cutting movement of the 1980s, advising leaders ranging from Margaret Thatcher to Donald Rumsfeld. An alumnus of Yale and Stanford, Dr. Laffer held distinguished professorships at the University of Chicago, USC, and Pepperdine. Today, he is the Chairman of Laffer Associates, providing institutional research and consulting from his base in Nashville. A prolific author of works including The End of Prosperity and Trumponomics, Dr. Laffer continues to shape the global conversation on fiscal policy and market incentives.

The new Reserve Bank Governor will deliver her first Monetary Policy Statement today. The central bank's expected to keep the OCR unchanged at 2.25%. It's likely to show when inflation should start easing, and when the economy should recover from last year's downturn. BNZ Chief Economist Mike Jones told Mike Hosking today's announcement will likely see them swap out the mild easing bias the bank had in November and replace it with a mild tightening bias. He says they believe the Reserve Bank will probably want to signal a hike by around December this year. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Economic policy in the second Trump administration continues to undergo significant change. Many of these changes have been enacted through executive orders. What effect have these policies had on economic growth, scientific research, and on American institutions thus far? How might they impact U.S. leadership over the long-term? Simon Johnson joins EconoFact Chats to discuss these questions, drawing on a new book he co-edited, 'The Economic Consequences of the Second Trump Administration: A Preliminary Assessment.' Simon is the Ronald A. Kurtz Professor of Entrepreneurship at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where he heads the Global Economics and Management Group. He served as Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund in 2007–2008 and was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2024.

Josh opens the show by breaking down what he calls a historic move by the Trump administration to roll back several Obama-era EPA regulations. He explains why supporters see the decision as a major win and why it’s sparking intense backlash from critics on the left. He’s then joined by E.J. Antoni, Chief Economist at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss the latest economic headlines and unpack the newest inflation numbers. Antoni offers insight into where the economy may be headed and what it means for Americans moving forward. Later, Jay Richards, Vice President of Social and Domestic Policy at The Heritage Foundation, joins Josh to react to this week’s religious liberty commission hearing and the controversy surrounding it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Casey Mulligan—former Chief Economist of the White House Council of Economic Advisers and current Chief Counsel for Advocacy at the U.S. Small Business Administration—joins Boaz Ashkenazy for a timely conversation on how AI is reshaping small businesses, regulation, and the broader labor market.Casey shares his path from University of Chicago professor to serving in two presidential administrations, where he introduced automated reasoning tools into economic policy work well before the rise of large language models. He explains how his office now uses AI to review thousands of federal regulations and ensure small business voices are represented in Washington.The discussion explores accelerating AI adoption among small firms, the recent surge in new business formation, and why smaller companies may benefit more from AI than large incumbents. Casey also addresses concerns about job displacement, drawing lessons from past waves of automation and outlining why he believes the long-term impact will be increased productivity and opportunity.The episode closes with a forward-looking perspective on education, entrepreneurship, and why the “human touch” will remain a critical advantage in the future of work.Chapters[00:00] From University of Chicago to the White House[03:05] Advocating for Small Businesses in Washington[07:29] AI and the Labor Market: Lessons from Economic History[12:14] The Startup Surge and Small Business Formation[13:48] Using AI Inside the Federal Government[17:20] Vibe Coding, APIs, and Custom Productivity Tools[18:07] Automated Reasoning and Microsoft's Z3[21:23] AI in Education and Learning[24:31] Two Words for the Future of Work: Human TouchConnect with Casey Bryant MulliganLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/casey-bryant-mulligan/Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

The changing of the guard at the top of the Federal Reserve comes at a crucial time for policymakers and markets. It is far from certain whether the promise of artificial intelligence heralds an era of stronger trend growth, or if the displacement in labor markets that might result will prove more damaging. Kevin Warsh’s term as Chairman will surely be defined as much by this question as his stated desire to reorient Fed policies and its mission. To discuss all of this, we are thrilled to welcome back Simona Mocuta, Chief Economist of State Street Investment Management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. US payrolls rose in January by the most in more than a year and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell, suggesting the labor market continued to stabilize at the start of 2026. Employers added 130,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate declined to 4.3%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The January data reinforces Federal Reserve officials' inclination to keep interest rates on hold for now, with many traders pushing out their timeline for the next rate cut to July from June. To break down the latest jobs report, we turn to Jeffrey Roach, Chief Economist for LPL Financial. Plus - Japanese stocks gained when trading reopened after a public holiday.

In this first episode of The Work We Do, we speak with Máximo Torero, Chief Economist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Máximo served as the Director of Markets, Trade and Institutions Division at IFPRI and later as an Executive Director for the World Bank representing several South American countries. The conversation explores how agrifood systems, global markets, financing, and macroeconomic stability are deeply interconnected, and why food security is not only a humanitarian concern but a central pillar of economic and political resilience, promoting national security. Máximo explains how countries can better protect themselves against food crises through smarter investment, early action, and risk-informed policies, and why prevention is far more effective than crisis response. The episode also unpacks the links between hunger, migration, and conflict, and the role international institutions play in stabilizing agrifood systems and reducing systemic risk in an increasingly volatile global environment. Máximo also offers a glimpse into how his upbringing in Peru and his early years as a researcher have shaped his career and worldview.    Follow FAO on social media!  Facebook -   / unfao   Instagram -   / fao   LinkedIn -   / fao   TikTok -   / fao   Twitter -   / fao   Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals

In this episode of Current Account, Clay is joined by two IIF colleagues, Marcello Estevão, Managing Director and Chief Economist, and Gene Ma, Head of China Research and Chief Representative for the Asia-Pacific region, to take a closer look at China's evolving role in the global economy at a time when growth is no longer the country's top priority. Long viewed as the engine of global expansion, China is now emphasizing domestic stability, reshaping trade patterns and global economic dynamics in the process. Drawing on recent travel across the region and insights from the IIF China Economic Forum, they discuss how policymakers and market participants are interpreting China's shift away from growth-driven stimulus toward a more measured approach. The conversation explores the drivers behind China's record trade surplus, including the role of weak imports alongside steady exports, ongoing challenges in the housing sector, rising household savings, and persistent deflationary pressures. Clay, Marcello, and Gene also examine how China's increasing focus on trade with emerging markets—and reduced engagement with advanced economies—is reshaping global trade flows. The episode concludes with a forward-looking discussion on what really matters for understanding China in 2026, and why the key question may no longer be how fast China grows, but how its new economic posture affects the rest of the world. This IIF Podcast was hosted by Clay Lowery, Executive Vice President, Research and Policy, with production and research contributions from Christian Klein, Digital Graphics and Production Associate and Miranda Silverman, Senior Program Assistant.
