Click here to view Dr. Yandle's slides from this event.

On June 1, Dr. Bruce Yandle released his latest quarterly economic report in which he compares the United States’ current economic situation to a roller coaster. Between productivity levels, tax reform, and increased adoption of automation in the work force, there are a lot of factors creating this uncertain ride.

Please join the Mercatus Center at George Mason University for a presentation by Dr. Bruce Yandle, Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Economics at Mercatus and Dean Emeritus at Clemson University. Dr. Yandle will review his June 2017 report and discuss:

• The role of rising inflation rates;
• The economic impact of the corporate tax rate, robotics, and the carbon prohibition; and
• Economic differences between states and regions, with a special analysis of Oregon.
