Wien (OTS) - Die Wirtschaftskammer Österreich und das
Wirtschaftspolitische Zentrum laden herzlich zu den
Wirtschaftspolitischen Gesprächen am 17. Mai 2016 zum Thema "The
Future of U.S. Fiscal Policy" ein.

The Future of U.S. Fiscal Policy

In confronting the economic and social problems of fiscal
sustainability and inequality, government actions are constrained by
increasing globalization and international mobility. This lecture
will discuss the underlying challenges and big trade-offs for U.S.
fiscal policy and their likely long-term consequences and effects on
distribution within and across generations. Will U.S. tax reform
achieve simplification, improve incentives and contain inequality?
Can the U.S. maintain its growth potential and technological lead?
Can the U.S. stem its rising fiscal debt? How is the U.S. federal
system dealing with fiscal stress at the state and local levels?
Could the outcome of U.S. presidential elections lead to fundamental
changes in fiscal and economic policies?

Welcoming Address
Christoph Leitl
President of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber

Lecture
Alan Auerbach
Robert D. Burch Professor of Economics and Law, University of
California at Berkeley

Discussion
Christian Keuschnigg
University of St. Gallen, Head of Economic Policy Center WPZ Vienna
