"Running Hot"

A guest post today from @edballs + his research colleague Dan Turner.

It looks at why the US economy has grown so much faster than the UK's (pre-Trump). And what Rachel Reeves can learn from that.

1/ Today, we publish a new working paper: what should the UK learn from Bidenomics?

At its core are 15 interviews—including 5 former Council of Economic Advisers members (3 of them Chairs), 4 former NEC Directors & 2 former Cabinet members.

So proud of the work my colleagues at the Inclusive Growth Network have done over the last 4 years—tackling inequality, boosting local economies, and driving real change. Check out their mighty impact report 👇

Just over a fortnight until our Inclusive Growth Conference at the Royal Society of the Arts. What will a "decade of national renewal" for all places and people look like?

@themjcouk Thanks, had missed that!

“Invest invest invest” - exactly the right framing for the Budget

@PJTheEconomist Could be a mechanism to spur labour market reallocation to more productive firms, Scandi-style

[Dan Turner @DanTurnerTweets]

My concern is that transport investment has been undervalued as a driver of productivity growth. Would’ve liked to have a seen a capital-to-revenue wheeze to subsidise intra-city transport. Top of the wishlist for next November

[Dan Turner @DanTurnerTweets]

More considered Budget take: the Chancellor delivered on scale (size of tax rises); strategy (higher public spending to induce private investment); and delivering tricky set of manifesto pledges (plus political red meat of spending on schools and hospitals). BUT this is step one

[Dan Turner @DanTurnerTweets]

The good news is that today’s budget makes future reform/planning easier.

Today ticked so many political boxes (manifesto delivery, plan to improve services public care most about), that policymakers are now less constrained in future budgets; w more scope for novel policies
