The U.S. Trade Deficit: A Misleading Economic Indicator, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The U.S. Trade Deficit: A Misleading Economic Indicator, Murray L. Weidenbaum

But rather than a period of doom-and-gloom, 1998 will in fact be best defined as a time of economic uncertainty. In light of this, this paper attempts to provide an economic outlook for the year ahead by answering three key questions: first, how will the East Asian financial deterioration affect us? Second, will politicians try to spend the projected federal surplus before it materializes? Lastly, will the Federal Reserve continue to stay on the policy …
