This week Nick & Goldy are joined by Heather Boushey, Chief Economist for President Biden's Invest in America Cabinet, for a deep dive into the transformative economic policies of the Biden administration. Boushey discusses the paradigm shift towards a middle-out economic approach to crafting economic policy and the impact of legislation like the American Rescue Plan, CHIPS Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Inflation Reduction Act. Their conversation explores the importance of investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and manufacturing to drive growth and create good jobs. They also discuss the challenges of implementation, the success of the administration's industrial policy, and its remarkable economic outcomes including record low Black unemployment, high new business applications, and equitable wage growth. Even though this episode was recorded before President Biden announced he was withdrawing from the presidential campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, this wide-ranging conversation offers plenty of valuable insight into the past, present, and future of middle-out economics. Heather Boushey is a distinguished American economist who specializes in economic inequality and public policy. She serves on President Biden's Council of Economic Advisers and is the Chief Economist for the Invest in America Cabinet. Before joining the Biden Administration, she was the co-founder and President of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a research organization dedicated to advancing evidence-backed ideas and policies that promote economic growth and reduce inequality.

This hour, guest host Ian Hoch speaks with Michael Linden, Senior Policy Fellow at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, to explain what "Project 2025" entails.

There is a plan to drastically reshape the federal goverment to benefit the politcal brand of Donald Trump. Michael Linden, Senior Policy Fellow at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and a former Senior Official at the White House of Management Budget, to explain what this plan entails. 

The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act last year marked not only significant climate action but efforts to shape industrial policy. Through billions of dollars of subsidies, the IRA aimed to quicken the pace and scale of the energy transition and also bolster domestic manufacturing and the economy. While providing an infusion of capital to America's clean energy economy, the legislation heightened trade tensions around the world, with other countries vying to capture their share of clean energy supply chains.  How does this green industrial strategy fit within the Biden Administration's climate and economic goals? What potential impacts could policy have on the trade risks to the energy transition? And how might the energy transition affect the economy or economic inequities in American society? This week for our second and final holiday rerun, we're featuring host Jason Bordoff's interview with Heather Boushey about the Biden Administration's climate and economic policies and the case for green spending. Heather is a member of the Council of Economic Advisors for the Biden administration and chief economist to the Biden administration's “Invest in America” cabinet. Heather works on domestic investment and implementation of infrastructure and clean energy laws. She previously co-founded the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, where she served as chief economist, president and CEO. She has also held the position of chief economist for the Center for American Progress.

She is best known for the development of the Sahm Rule, a Federal Reserve Economic Data indicator for identifying recessions.

Mainstream economists have been predicting a recession on the horizon for over a year, with some doomsayers even making up something called “a non-recession recession” to characterize the state of the economy. There's no better person to cut through all this bluster and nonsense than the creator of one of the most reliable economic indicators created in the last few decades: the Sahm Rule, which aims to predict and track recessions in real time. Former Federal Reserve economist Claudia Sahm joins the podcast to walk us through the Sahm Rule's methodology and explains how it utilizes timely data to provide early warnings of economic downturns, offering policymakers, businesses, and individuals a valuable tool for proactive decision-making. Claudia Sahm is an esteemed economist and policy expert who has served as director of macroeconomic policy at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, Senior Economist at the Federal Reserve, and economist for the White House Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. She's known for her contributions to macroeconomics and the development of the Sahm Rule, her research on monetary policy, labor markets, and macroeconomic stabilization has made her a trusted advisor and consultant to policymakers and organizations seeking evidence-based insights.

On this episode of Ruled by Reason, AAI President Diana Moss hosts two leading healthcare competition experts. Laura Alexander is Director of Markets and Competition Policy at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and Brent Fulton is Associate Research Professor of Health Economics and Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and Associate Director of the Petris Center on Health Care Markets and Consumer Welfare. They take up an increasingly troubling issue in healthcare competition: growing private equity ownership of physician practices. The conversation previews major takeaways from a soon to be released study between AAI, UC Berkeley, and WCEG, funded by a grant from the Arnold Foundation. Moss, Alexander, and Fulton discuss the penetration of private equity ownership in the U.S. across a variety of physician practice areas, growth in market share and concentration, and effects on prices. This episode is a must-listen for those following consolidation in critical healthcare markets and its implications for prices, healthcare costs, antitrust enforcement and healthcare policy.

In this BMJ Interview, we brought a special guest. Our chat is with Marek Hanusch, Lead Economist and Program Leader at the World Bank's Practice Group for Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions. Recently, Marek led the preparation of the study “A Balancing Act for Brazil's Amazonian States: An Economic Memorandum” released by the World Bank. The document brings economic strategies for the population living in the Legal Amazon. This area encompasses nine states in the Amazon basin, in which about 36% of the population live in poverty. Marek holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford and has published in various economics and development journals, including the European Economic Review, the Economics Letters, and the Public Choice. He also led numerous World Bank reports, including the study “An Incomplete Transition: Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa”, published by the World Bank and Cape Town University Press, respectively. In this conversation with our consultants Amanda Roza and Lucas Fernandes, Marek talks about how command-and-control and economic instruments of environmental policy can complement Amazônia Legal, the role of macroeconomic policy and the financial sector in the transition to sustainable development, among other solutions and strategies presented in the memorandum. Check out our interview with Marek Hanusch. If you want to know more about the study, visit: worldbank org

According to the World Bank, economic growth in East Asia and Pacific region is projected to expand by 5.1% in 2023 thanks to China's reopening. But their report also points to slowing pace of reform. We ask Aaditya Mattoo, Chief Economist of the East Asia and Pacific Region, World Bank as to why this is happening and what are the headwinds he expects.

Recorded on March 22, 2023, this talk — "The Modern American Industrial Strategy: Building a Clean Energy Economy from the Bottom Up and Middle Out" — features Heather Boushey, a member of President Biden's Council of Economic Advisers and Chief Economist to the Invest in America Cabinet. Boushey is co-founder of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, where she was President and CEO from 2013-2020. She previously served as chief economist for Secretary Clinton's 2016 transition team and as an economist for the Center for American Progress, the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress, the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and the Economic Policy Institute. This talk was co-sponsored by the Berkeley Society and Economy Initiative (BESI), the Network for a New Political Economy (N2PE), the Stone Center on Wealth and Income Inequality, and Social Science Matrix. Abstract The Biden-Harris Administration began at a time of intersecting crises, including the pandemic, rising inequality, stagnating economic growth, and the large and growing costs of climate change. The President, in partnership with Congress and state and local governments, took rapid action with policies that have spurred the strongest and most equitable economic and labor market recovery in modern history — including legislation to enhance the resilience of our supply chains, rebuild our physical infrastructure, and accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy. These historic measures, together forming the core of the Modern American Industrial Strategy, were designed with an understanding that strategic public investments are essential to achieving the full potential of our nation's economy — one built from the bottom up and middle out, where the gains of economic growth are shared.

The Inflation Reduction Act, passed last year, aims to accelerate the clean energy transition, and benefit American workers, communities, and manufacturers. It does so by providing large amounts of funding to the domestic clean energy sector, paired with certain requirements for materials and technologies to be produced in the U.S.. But accelerating climate action is a big task, to say nothing of fostering economic fairness and opportunity in the process. How can the Biden administration move forward on all these different priorities simultaneously? How will its domestic climate agenda impact the U.S. economy? And what is the role of industrial policy in a world undergoing an energy transition? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Heather Boushey about the nuances of the Biden administration's domestic climate policy and how it fits into their broader economic plans. They also discuss what it means to use industrial policy in furtherance of the energy transition.   Heather is currently a member of the Council of Economic Advisors for the Biden administration and chief economist to the Biden administration's “Invest in America” cabinet. Heather works on domestic investment and implementation of infrastructure and clean energy laws. She previously co-founded the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, where she served as chief economist, president and CEO. She has also held the position of chief economist for the Center for American Progress. 

The onset of the pandemic in 2020 marked a turning point in the 30-year pursuit of successful global poverty reduction. According to recent World Bank estimates, the incomes of the poorest 40 percent of the world's population likely fell by 4 percent in 2020. And as a result, the number of people living in extreme poverty likely increased by 11  percent in 2020—i.e. it increased from 648 million to 719 million. The pandemic also increased global inequality. In terms of lost income, the world's poor paid the highest price for the pandemic; Indeed, the percentage income losses of the poorest are estimated to have been double those of the richest. The rise in extreme poverty and decline of shared prosperity caused by inflation, currency depreciations, and broader overlapping crises facing development, pose numerous challenges for global development.Indermit Gill is Chief Economist of the World Bank Group and Senior Vice President for Development Economics.

Slouching Towards Utopia is the new book from Brad DeLong, Professor of Economics at University of California, Berkeley. Professor DeLong joins show host Gene Tunny to discuss the long twentieth century from 1870 to 2010. The conversation considers the three factors which came together to massively raise living standards post-1870, and how nonetheless we've struggled to achieve the Utopia that once appeared possible. The “neoliberal turn” beginning in the 1970s and 1980s is considered, and DeLong explains why he writes that “Hayek and his followers were not only Dr. Jekyll–side geniuses but also Mr. Hyde–side idiots.”You can buy Slouching Towards Utopia via this link:https://amzn.to/3TK4evmPlease get in touch with any questions, comments and suggestions by emailing us at contact@economicsexplored.com or sending a voice message via https://www.speakpipe.com/economicsexplored. HighlightsThe big story after 1870: technological progress becomes rapid, the technological competence of the human race globally doubles every generation.

The International Monetary Fund has warned that "the worst is yet to come" and next year may feel like a recession. It blames the war in Ukraine and rising prices worldwide. The BBC's Business Correspondent Michelle Fleury joins us from the IMF in Washington DC. Meanwhile, the dollar's strength is weakening the currencies of developing nations. It's worrying the World Bank because it's increasing their debt. We hear from Ayhan Kose, the bank's Acting Vice President for Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions.

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with  Gaurav Dubey, the CEO of TDefi. A crypto incubator and advisory company. Welcome to the eighty-fifth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on July 26th 2022. Today we dive into the current state of the startup scene, crypto regulations and advice for finding your own way in the crypto industry. I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don't forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com. Thanks everyone for listening and don't forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe. Topics Covered Today: Before we dive into Streamflow Gaurav, I think it would be remiss to not talk about the current state of the industry. Has the macroeconomic environment affected what you are doing? How do you feel about it? I think most of our audience understands tokenization but what about for people not in crypto? How is that going to affect their lives? We know some protocols have really fast transaction speeds like Solana or Polygon. But at the same time, there are also issues there. How is the industry going to bring these speeds to regular people? When the market came down, we once more heard the calls for regulations to protect consumers? In what form do you see these occurring? Much of the Northern Hemisphere has been under heat warnings for the better part of a month. How does crypto aid in sustainability of our society? One of the things I saw you talk about is the equitable growth of the world economy? Is it possible to make it fairer? How does crypto aid this? We haven't yet talked about it but is there anything exciting going on at TDefi that you'd like to share with our audience? What's your prediction for the next 6 to 12 months in the industry?

The global economy is in uncharted territory, and where it goes next is anybody's guess. Raging inflation, the soaring costs of gas and food are plaguing consumers in America and around the world. The US Federal Reserve took its most aggressive move in decades on Wednesday, hiking the interest rate 75 basis points to try to rein in the rising prices. Just today the Bank of England also raised rates. But will the rate hike be the cure to cool down this overheated economy, or is it now at risk of sliding into a recession? And what might the outlook mean for big issues laid bare by the pandemic, including inequality and the economic cost of racism? Joining the show to try and answer these thorny questions is Michelle Holder, an economics professor and outgoing president and CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.  Also on today's show: Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, a Capitol police officer injured on January 6; David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee.

Being unemployed in the United States is bad for you.  It's bad for your mental, physical and emotional health. Bad for your family stability. Bad for your ability to survive.  It's just bad news, period. The research shows that 83 percent of laid-off workers develop a serious stress-related condition. And as we look at the future of work, that's a problem for the American economy. Because one of the big questions about the American workplace is:What if, in the a future, we actually have less work … and more unemployment? Guests Kiarica Shields, hospice nurse in Georgia who lost her job early in the pandemic, and eventually lost her home and her car. Her unemployment insurance stopped inexplicably, and after she her appeal, she was told she was ineligible for coverage because she worked a single day on another job.  Mark Attico  - furloughed at the start of the pandemic in his job planning business travel.

This week we're joined by Alix Gould-Werth of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and Alex Murphy Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan Department of Sociology to talk about their work on the topic of transportation insecurity. We chat about what went in to the creation of the transportation security index and why we haven't yet created a federal program for individuals like food stamps or housing vouchers for transportation. You can find their paper Developing a New Measure of Transportation Insecurity: An Exploratory Factor Analysis at the Survey Practice website. They also have an article at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.   Follow us on twitter @theoverheadwire Support the show on Patreon http://patreon.com/theoverheadwire Buy books on our Bookshop.org Affiliate site!

Lisa Cook, spécialiste des inégalités raciales, est la première femme noire en route pour devenir gouverneure de la Fed, la banque centrale des États-Unis. Le président Joe Biden l'a désignée, en attendant confirmation par le Sénat. Lisa Cook a passé sa vie à démontrer combien le racisme, la haine et la violence peuvent réduire le niveau de vie et la croissance aux États-Unis. Elle s'exprime récemment au Centre de développement équitable (Washington Center for Equitable Growth) de Washington. « Vous n'intégrez pas toute la population, vous n'utilisez pas toutes les ressources de l'économie. Vous ne gérez pas bien l'économie. Nous estimons que le produit intérieur brut par habitant serait de 0,6 à 4,5 % plus élevé s'il y avait plus de femmes et plus d'Afro-Américains inclus dans le processus d'innovation. C'est beaucoup d'argent perdu. » Un parcours brillant et engagé Les convictions de Lisa Cook ont été façonnées par son enfance à Milledgeville, dans l'État de Géorgie. « C'était le sud deségrégationiste », dit-elle, « et mes parents se battaient contre la non-violence aux côtés d'un ami de la famille, le pasteur Martin Luther King ». Fille d'un aumônier baptiste et d'une professeure en école d'infirmières, c'est une des premières enfants noires à intégrer une école publique, autrefois réservée aux élèves blancs. Le climat est violent et elle garde sous l'œil droit la cicatrice des agressions racistes qu'elle a subi. Lisa Cook surmonte toutes les épreuves et suit de longues études brillantes en économie et en philosophie dans de prestigieuses universités. À Atlanta d'abord, puis à Oxford, en Angleterre, à l'université Cheikh Anta Diop à Dakar, et enfin à Berkeley, en Californie. Sylvie Matelli, directrice adjointe à l'IRIS, l'Institut de relations internationales et stratégiques. « C'est un haut potentiel, si vous me permettez l'expression, parce que docteure en économie, très engagée sur différentes questions, qui parle 5 langues dont le russe. Ce n'est pas n'importe qui. » Une spécialiste des effets du racisme sur l'économie Lisa Cook est, un temps, enseignante au Centre international de développement de Harvard, avant de devenir professeure d'économie et de relations internationales à l'université du Michigan. Un parcours qui impressionne le président Joe Biden, comme l'explique Sylvie Matelli. « C'est une économiste mais ce n'est pas du tout une spécialiste de l'économie financière ou de la politique monétaire. C'est une spécialiste des effets pervers sur l'économie du racisme, donc il y a vraiment un engagement très fort, non seulement il (Biden) fait entrer une femme, mais une femme noire, je trouve qu'on est vraiment sur cette question des inégalités. » Lisa Cook devrait donc apporter une dimension nouvelle qui n'existe pas à la Fed. Georges Ugeux, président de Galileo Global Advisors. « C'est vraiment une personne qui est académique. Donc ce qu'elle va apporter, c'est un angle différent qui n'existait pas à la Fed. Elle va par exemple s'assurer que quand la Réserve fédérale fait des investissements ou bien soutient un certain nombre d'institutions financières, tout n'aille pas dans une seule direction et que l'on prenne en considération l'égalité des chances dans la politique de la Fed en matière d'emploi. » Mettre à profit son expérience de conseillère en développement pour Obama Le taux de chômage aux États-Unis est de 3,6 %, presque son niveau d'avant pandémie. Mais il est de 7 % pour la population noire. En dehors de la lutte contre les inégalités raciales et de genre, Lisa Cook espère mettre à profit son expérience de conseillère en développement international dans l'administration de Barack Obama et son soutien dans l'équipe de transition de Joe Biden, explique Sylvie Matelli. « Elle a beaucoup travaillé sur le développement économique donc ça c'est pas mal, parce que le durcissement de la politique américaine pour lutter contre l'inflation peut avoir des conséquences sur les pays du sud qui sont aujourd'hui très endettés, ce sont eux les plus vulnérables face à cette dette et le fait qu'elle soit spécialiste de ce développement économique, ce n'est probablement pas anodin. Elle avait beaucoup travaillé sur la reprise économique au Rwanda après le génocide de 1994. Donc voilà quelqu'un de plutôt empathique, ouverte sur le monde. » La nomination de Lisa Cook fait toutefois grincer des dents dans les rangs des Républicains. Ils la jugent trop peu qualifiée en macroéconomie pour entrer à la Fed. Mais Lisa Cook n'en est pas à un combat près.

Recently there's been a dramatic shift in the American workforce: The “Great Resignation.” “The Big Quit.”  In one year, more than 47 millions of people left their jobs. The majority were women. “It is horrible for our economy when millions of women exit the labor force,” says economist Michelle Holder, CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. While men have regained nearly all the jobs they lost since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we're still missing 2 million women. So where have all the women gone? So where have all the women gone?

This week, Daniella sits down with Michelle Holder, president and CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and professor of economics. They talk about how the economy's doing (for more than just white men), how Michelle has navigated her field as a black woman, and what policies she wants to see lawmakers advance this year. Daniella also breaks down the latest from Ukraine, plus the outrageous Republican questioning at Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson's confirmation hearings.

Corporate consolidation has been getting a lot of attention lately. But it isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s been on the rise since the ’80s, and it’s led to just a handful of companies controlling entire industries and fewer companies out there to deliver goods and services. “One really good example would be health care — this is a pretty concentrated sector in the U.S. economy,” said Kate Bahn, director of labor market policy and chief economist at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. “[Consolidation] is when there’s hospital mergers … maybe one big management company overarching a whole sort of sector in one location.” But it means a lot more than companies just getting bigger. Corporate consolidation has a big impact on the way our economy is shaped. On today’s show: How corporate consolidation influences wages and consumer prices — and why it calls into question the success of capitalism. In the News Fix, we’ll discuss how a spike in global food prices could trigger unrest around the world and the fate of Sarah Bloom Raskin’s nomination to the Federal Reserve board. (We taped today’s episode before she withdrew her nomination.) Also, listeners celebrate Kimberly’s official spot in the host chair and a debate over who is more introverted! Here’s everything we talked about today: “America’s Monopolies Are Holding Back the Economy” from The Atlantic Kate Bahn’s testimony on corporate power “Ukraine War Could Put Food Security on Pentagon’s Plate” from Government Executive “Manchin Won’t Support Raskin for the Federal Reserve” from The New York Times “Big container ship goes aground in Chesapeake, recalling Suez ordeal” from The Washington Post Keep independent journalism going strong. Give today to support Make Me Smart.

On February 3rd, 2022, Social Science Matrix and the Center for Studies in Higher Education hosted an online “Author Meets Critics” panel discussion focused on the book, Bankers in the Ivory Tower: The Troubling Rise of Financiers in US Higher Education, by Charlie Eaton, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Merced. Elite colleges have long played a crucial role in maintaining social and class status in America while public universities have offered a major stepping-stone to new economic opportunities. However, as Eaton reveals in his book, finance has played a central role in the widening inequality in recent decades, both in American higher education and in American society at large.  In this recording, Professor Eaton, who earned his PhD from the UC Berkeley Department of Sociology, was joined in conversation by Emmanuel Saez, Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for Equitable Growth at UC Berkeley, and Jonathan Glater, Professor of Law at the UC Berkeley School of Law. The panel was moderated by Jennifer Johnson-Hanks, Executive Dean of the UC Berkeley Division of Letters & Science. A video of this panel is available at https://matrix.berkeley.edu/tag/watch/.

Andrew Elrod joins Money on the Left to discuss the political economy of inflation and price controls, past and present. Elrod holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of California, Santa Barbara and is presently Research Specialist at United Teachers Los Angeles, a 36,000-member labor union. In our conversation, Elrod overturns one of the most common understandings of a central plot point in our collective memory of the 1970s, and which continues to shape dramatic engagement with the problem of “inflation” today: the notion that stagflation was both a consequence of factors exogenous to politics and the catalyst for austerity in the United States and across the world. In doing so, Elrod locates human agency—not autonomous “price signals” or exogenous shocks—as the most formidable instrument for dealing with post-Covid inflation.Link to Elrod's recent essay for the Washington Center for Equitable Growth titled 'Austerity policies in the United States caused 'stagflation' in the 1970s and would do so again today': https://equitablegrowth.org/austerity-policies-in-the-united-states-caused-stagflation-in-the-1970s-and-would-do-so-again-today/

On today's inaugural episode, we'll be looking at a topic that affects all women: Finances. We'll be discussing the Pink Tax, The Wage gap, and the way society pushes for women to consume more while making less. Why do we fall for the trends and marketing ploys so often, and what is a classy response to this unladylike pressure to buy more while earning less?
