Prof. Edward Leamer Prof. Dan Mitchell
Sponsored by the UCLA Emeriti Association and the UCLA Retirees Association.
Professor-Emeritus Daniel Mitchell will introduce Professor Leamer, and he will oversee two question and answer periods, one for the recession risks in 2023 and the other for our future post-industrial world.
Dan Mitchell, former interim director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, will interview Ed Leamer, former director of the Forecast, about the economic outlook, the likelihood of a recession, and forecasting more generally, including interpretation and presentation of economic data and the uses and abuses of econometrics. Q&A with the audience will follow
Edward Leamer, Distinguished Emeritus Professor and former Director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, will be offering his views on two subjects: (1) the short-run risks facing the US economy, including inflation, recession, and job losses, and (2) the long-run problems associated with the post-industrial world we are moving into.
Professor Leamer will also be commenting on the role of visual images that can reveal the evidence upon which forecasts rest: If you can "see" it, you can "believe" it.
