Retrospective on American Economic Policy in the 1990's Frankel, Jeffrey and Peter Orszag The Brookings Institute, working paper, November 2001, 16p http://www.brookings.edu/views/papers/orszag/20011102.pdf The paper, which is based upon the Introduction to the American Economic Policy in the 1990s, includes a discussion of distinguishing characteristics of " Clintonomics" in historical perspective, a cataloguing of reasons for the good economic performance enjoyed by the country during the years 1993-2000, an explanation of the difficulties of apportioning credit for such outcomes, and some thoughts on the under-appreciated perils of excessive transparency in government.

A Regional Perspective on the "Great Moderation"

FRB Dallas – Article - Southwest Economy - May/June 2008

http://www.dallasfed.org/research/swe/2008/swe0803b.cfm

“U.S. economic growth has been much steadier the past 24 years than it was the preceding 24. One result of this "Great Moderation" has been less time spent in recession: Our economy contracted for a total of 59 months between 1960 and 1983, compared with only 16 months between 1984 and 2007. The number of recessions fell from five to two.”

Budget Surpluses: Experiences of Other Nations and Implications for theUS

Implications of a Weaker Dollar for Oil Prices and the U.S. Economy

US House of Representatives - Committee on Financial Services – Hearing - July 24, 2008

http://www.house.gov/apps/list/hearing/financialsvcs_dem/hr0717082.shtml

This hearing examined “the impact of a weaker dollar on the U.S. economy, with a particular focus on oil and commodity price inflation. The hearing will also examine the policy implications of a weaker dollar, including the challenges it poses for the conduct of monetary policy in the United States and the importance of other countries’ exchange rate and monetary policies.”

Center for Economic and Policy Research - July 2008 – 14 pages

http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/stimulus2__2008_07.pdf

The report presents several proposals designed to address the nation’s current economic slowdown. The authors suggest a second stimulus package, which includes an expanded tax credit for homes and businesses to make energy conserving renovations, subsidies for state and local governments to reduce fares on public transportation, and additional payments to low- and moderate-income households through programs such as Food Stamps, School Lunches and the Low Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program to make it easier for families to cope with rising food and energy prices.

Carl Schramm and Robert E. Litan The Growth Solution The American – Article - July/August 2008 Issue

http://www.american.com/archive/2008/july-august-magazine-contents/the-growth-solution

“With America's new economic realities, an entrepreneurial agenda is in order. Huge domestic challenges confront our next presidents (none of which is fully resolvable by a single president): ensuring greater access to and affordability of healthcare, addressing our looming entitlements crisis, making significant headway against poverty, and restraining man-made climate change… The central task for policymakers is to ensure that our entrepreneurial revolution continues, and that we do not revert to anything like the Big Firm economy we once had.”

Dr. Moore will discuss whether this represents a fundamental diversion of United States trade policy away from the post-World-War II multilateral approach.

Rebecca Hellerstein and Cedric Tille The Changing Nature of the U.S. Balance of Payments

Federal Reserve Bank of New York - Current Issues in Economics and Finance - June 2008

http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/current_issues/ci14-4.html

“Earnings on cross-border investments figure only marginally in net estimates of the U.S. current account, but they represent an increasingly large share of gross flows between the United States and other nations. Because these earnings fluctuate much more sharply than trade flows, they can be expected to create permanently higher current account volatility. Such increased volatility is not necessarily grounds for concern, however; it reflects an international sharing of risk that provides a buffer against domestic economic uncertainty.”

Global Economic Integration and Decoupling at the International

Federal Reserve Board – Remarks in Frankfurt, Germany. June 26, 2008

http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/kohn20080626a.htm

“In my talk today, I would like to address two questions: First, is the world economy genuinely experiencing divergences in economic and financial performance being described as "decoupling"? And second, if true, can we reconcile the perception that globalization has made economies increasingly interlinked with the suggestion that the most recent U.S. slowdown has not been matched by slowing elsewhere to the extent that we have seen in recent cycles?

Winning in the World Economy II

DLC Global Economy Project - Policy Report - July 9, 2008 -

http://www.dlc.org/documents/Winning_in_the_World_Economy_II_7_9_08.pdf

The paper “argues that the impulse to disengage from the world moves America in the wrong direction. The nation's economic health depends on our willingness to take up the challenges of global commerce, from the emergence of China and India as centers of industrial and technological power to the new opportunities generated by the demand for alternative energy. The paper is a successor to the first paper published by the DLC -- "Winning in the World Economy I," which came out in 1985, during a period of intense anxiety created by the rapid rise of Japan.”

http://www.ppionline.org/ndol/print.cfm?contentid=3760 " U.S. transportation policy needs to be modernized to cope the challenge. A new approach will emphasize market incentives, public-private partnerships, and user fees to ease congestion and expand transport facilities. It will entail a new determination to face down narrow interests that derail or delay major transportation improvements that clearly serve the wider public interest. And it will require giving states more authority to fund their own transportation projects."
