Economic Issues and the Election

What are the presidential candidates proposing to do about macroeconomic policy, housing, tax and spending policy, international trade, immigration, and environmental policy? What can we learn from economics and empirical evidence about the likely effects? Williams economics professors Ken Kuttner, Jon Bakija, Will Olney, and Sarah Jacobson will offer short presentations on each of these issues, followed by a panel discussion with questions from the audience. Moderated by Gabe Miller ’25.
