Reaganomics, the business cycle and planning

Abstract

Forecasting has never been easy, but recently it has become a nightmare. The onslaught of new monetary and fiscal policy prescriptions has outrun both the economist's and planner's ability to interpret them. Indeed, the tasks of setting business objectives and screening alternative strategies becomes more difficult, as there no longer exists a clear understanding of long‐term market conditions.
