Trump and Harris present vastly different approaches to economic policy on the campaign trail

Steven Durlauf, Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor and the Director of the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility, commented on the U.S. presidential candidates economic policy proposals. 

"I think if you were to ask economists [which candidate] is proposing more dangerous [policies] for the United States, I’ll be blunt: I think Trump would be the person identified. The reasons for that are, number one, tariffs. Second, his comments about wanting to reduce the independence of the Federal Reserve,” said Durlauf said. “An example of a policy on Harris’ side, which most economists would react negatively to, are the proposals regulate price gouging.”
