    What will the US presidential election mean for the economy?

    Kevin Hassett, Jared Bernstein, Allison Nathan

    Former and current Council of Economic Advisers chairs Jared Bernstein and Kevin Hassett debated the U.S. economic outlook, contrasting Bernstein's assessment of a solid expansion with Hassett's characterization of conflicting recessionary and growth signals. Their discussion highlighted sharp divergences on policy, with Bernstein defending targeted tariffs and tax hikes on high-net-worth individuals while Hassett advocated for reciprocal trade measures and warned that raising the corporate tax rate to 28% would stifle growth. Despite these disagreements, both economists acknowledged the potential of expanding tax credits for families and expressed concern over long-term fiscal sustainability regarding deficit levels and the upcoming debt limit crisis.

    Josh Barro, Jared Bernstein, Andrew Biggs, Chris Hughes, Maya MacGuineas, Eric Schmidt, Andrew McAfee, Jonathan Zittrain, Jared King, Nancy Gertner, David Rockefeller, Anne Coughlin, Eric Schwartzman

    A panel of experts including Andrew Biggs and Jared Bernstein addressed the actuarial insolvency of Social Security and Medicare, evaluating revenue increases and benefit adjustments to close the projected 75-year shortfall. The discussion extended to expanding income support through a modernized Earned Income Tax Credit while contrasting these proposals with healthcare reforms aimed at reducing drug costs and leveraging public options. Panelists concluded that political constraints and intergenerational inequities currently prevent necessary fiscal adjustments, creating a gap between public demand for services and willingness to fund them.

    Inequality and Mobility in America

    Jared Bernstein, Edward Conard, Robert Doerr, Chrystia Freeland

    Distinguished economists Jared Bernstein, Edward Conard, and Chrystia Freeland debated the primary drivers of rising U.S. income inequality, with Bernstein attributing it to structural policy failures and financialization while Conard cites global talent shortages and labor supply shifts. The panel further contested empirical data regarding stagnant wages and mobility rates, with Freeland emphasizing the political risks of extreme disparity and Robert Doerr highlighting family structure as a key poverty determinant. To address these challenges, the group proposed divergent solutions ranging from Conard's trade deficit reduction and immigration reforms to Bernstein's full-employment agenda and Freeland's call for inclusive capitalism and universal social safety nets.

    A 2013 industry panel analyzed the intersection of $2 billion in digital health investment, escalating pharmaceutical pricing, and systemic inefficiencies driving healthcare to consume 18% of the U.S. GDP. Key stakeholders discussed how venture capital prioritizes waste reduction over profit while hospital systems increasingly acquire physicians to manage EHR costs and leverage drug discount programs. The discussion concluded by highlighting pilot initiatives like Cincinnati's Healthy Cities, which achieved $200 million in annual savings through care coordination, while projecting a future shift toward outcome-based value models.

    U.S. Tax Reform: What's New, What Would It Mean?

    Jared Bernstein, Mark Everson, Nancy Kopp, Phillip Swagel, Liz Claman, Phil Swagel

    Prominent experts including former IRS Commissioner Mark Everson and Milken Institute officials Phil Swaggle and Jared Bernstein convened to analyze U.S. tax reform priorities following the financial crisis, focusing on the inefficiencies of current tax expenditures like the mortgage interest deduction and carried interest. The panel identified a critical need to close the $300 billion annual tax gap and eliminate barriers such as the Alternative Minimum Tax that hinder small business innovation and domestic R&D investment. Despite consensus on the necessity of capping deductions and ending corporate tax deferral, the group acknowledged that political gridlock and rigid fiscal rules remain significant obstacles to comprehensive legislative action.
