49 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 at the Mercator center at George Mason University.
And I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Julia Coronado.
Julia is the president and founder of Macro Policy Perspectives, a Wall street research firm.
Julia recently was also the president of the National association of Business Economists and has served as an economist on Wall street and at the Federal Reserve Board of governors.
Julia joins us today to discuss the prospects of a productivity surge, the Fed's soft landing, commercial real estate and more.
Julia, welcome to the show.
My pleasure to join you.
David well, it's great to have you on.
And you are a returning guest, so it's always a delight to have a returning guest on the program.
And you are also someone I look up to because you were an economist in academia, in industry, at the Fed, and now you've kind of gone out and become an entrepreneur.
You're living the american dream.
I really am.
I am grateful for all the opportunities I have had.
I have learned so much at each one of them.
Yeah.
So it's great to see people like you out there making your own way in the field that we're in.
I mean, we still have the same areas we covered, but you're doing it as entrepreneurs.
So it's very inspiring to those of us out there who wish we could be as bold and as fearless as you are.
