NEW PAPER: We know household expectations show a strong partisan bias, but do professional economists let politics cloud their forecasts too? Surprisingly, we find yes! Republican forecasters predict ~0.4 pp higher GDP growth when Republicans hold the presidency vs Democratic forecasters. #EconSky

Biggest decline in GDPNow in a short time that I can recall (excl. covid). Estimate now is for a 1.5% fall(!) in GDP in Q1-2025

100% agree with this. Empirical papers especially are typically messy. It’s ok if all the robustness tests do not work out perfectly. As a referee I often request authors to include “negative” robustness results. But as an author when I have tried this myself it has not been easy to publish.
