54 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings, where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important
macroeconomic issues of the past, present, and future.
I am your host, David Beckworth, a senior research fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University,
and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Welcome to this special live recording of Macro Musings coming to you from the Wharton Financial Regulation Conference.
There'll be listeners as well as watchers of the video and our audience.
And today, Peter and I will co-host this.
So I'm going to turn over control to Peter a little bit.
And then Peter's going to ask me questions.
I'm going to ask him questions.
And at some point, we'll engage with you as well.
And we'll provide this as a kickoff to the conference.
And Peter has been a part of this podcast for a long time, actually.
This podcast started in 2016, and he came on in December 2016.
So he's been on this journey.
As you can see, we actually brought some of our merch with us for those who follow the show.
We've got our nominal GDP targeting mug.
We will not talk about nominal GDP targeting today.
This is a FINRAG conference.
But we may hand these out to a few lucky souls who can engage with us afterwards.
