‘So That Happened: Taking Stock of the Last Four Years of the US Economy’ with Ernie Tedeschi, Director of Economics, Yale Budget Lab, and Visiting Fellow, Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy, Georgetown University

Date: Thursday, May 9th

Time: 12pm to 1:30pm ET

Location:  Logan Tavern, 1423 P St NW, Washington, DC 20005

Four years ago, the United States was in the middle of its deepest recession in a century and faced a profoundly uncertain outlook. Many challenges and uncertainties remain, yet the broad state of the US economy now is stronger than almost anyone would have dared dream of back then. Ernie Tedeschi, former Chief Economist for the White House Council of Economic Advisers, walks through what happened, where the US economy stands today, what we have learned along the way, and what he wishes he had known when he started at CEA three years ago.
