Percent of NABE Panelists Who Consider Fiscal Policy About Right
The Graph of the Week shows the the percentage of NABE Policy Survey panelists who think that fiscal policy is about right. From the survey:
Business economists are broadly divided regarding the current posture of fiscal policy with roughly a third viewing it as too stimulative and another third seeing it as too restrictive, but only 22% characterizing it as “about right.” When asked to look ahead at the next two years, the division became even wider, with 48% desiring a more stimulative posture and 41% supporting a more restrictive policy. Irrespective of the respondents’ views of what should be the posture, 83% felt fiscal policy would be more stimulative over the next two years.
