Concerns about Inflation Following the U.S. Election on November 5
everyday-coin 2024. 10. 29. 13:13In the upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 5, Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate former President Donald Trump are both being scrutinized regarding the potential for inflation to rise again, regardless of the election outcome. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), recent measures by the Federal Reserve (Fed) to increase interest rates, the recovery of supply chains, and an increase in the workforce have led to a recent stabilization of inflation. However, both candidates have proposed policies aimed at promoting growth during this election.
Particularly, there are analyses indicating that Trump's policies could exert greater pressure on inflation. Brian Riedl, a former Republican Senate aide at the conservative Manhattan Institute, mentioned that Trump’s policies are forecasted to exacerbate inflation in 2025. Trump argues for higher tariffs on all imports and an extension of tax cuts, as well as plans to expel illegal immigrants and apply pressure on the Fed for interest rate reductions. Economists warn that such policies could cause supply shocks, transferring price increases to consumers.
Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, emphasized that if Trump follows through with his claims to expel immigrants, economic output would significantly decrease and inflation would rise. Research from the period between 2008 and 2015 shows that expelling one million undocumented workers resulted in approximately 88,000 American workers losing their jobs; this suggests that immigrant workers do not typically directly displace existing workers in certain industries.
On the other hand, Vice President Harris has proposed measures such as promoting housing construction and expanding child tax credits. However, these policies also carry the potential to lead to price increases. Harris has promised that these expenditures would be offset by increases in taxes or other revenue, yet he has not provided a comprehensive plan for reducing the deficit. Riedl believes that inflation would not spike significantly if the Democrats are in power, but it is expected to persist to some extent.
In conclusion, there are growing concerns about the impact of both candidates' policies on inflation, indicating that it is a critical time to closely monitor the future economic situation.
