ECONOMIC EDUCATION

While economists struggle to agree on many policies, there are some they coalesce around. When asked if giving the President more direct influence over monetary policy would lead to substantially worse monetary policy decisions, 94% agreed. Similarly, 95% agreed that imposing tariffs results in significant price increases in tariffed goods, borne by consumers of the imposing country. Lastly, 83% don’t believe price gouging is the cause of high food prices.
