When Joe Biden takes the oath of office as the country’s 46th president on Jan. 20, 2021, the country will be at a very different place from when he launched his campaign on April 25, 2019. The unemployment rate will be approximately twice as high and the federal deficit will have ballooned.

SIEPR Director Mark Duggan will be discussing his recent policy brief on economic policy in a Biden administration in our next installment of "In Conversation with SIEPR Scholars." This conversation will be moderated by Gopi Shah Goda, Deputy Director and Senior Fellow at SIEPR.
