Initial estimates for Q3 show an uptick in GDP at 2.9%. After slow growth in the first half of 2016 and optimistic forecasts for Q4, will the US be able to reach 2.0% growth for the year?

Please join the Mercatus Center at George Mason University for a presentation by Dr. Bruce Yandle. Dr. Yandle will discuss his latest quarterly report (to be released on December 5) and:

  • Public choice economics and the “Forgotten Man”;
  • Global trade and the state of American manufacturing;
  • Deep economic differences between states and regions.
