Fed assumption #33

Open bethbailey opened 6 years ago

Hi Dr. Evans, thanks for presenting!

My question is on your assumption that the Fed will do nothing to counteract the change in interest rate caused by this tax reform. Why do you assume this? Have you tried your model without this assumption?

Also, I played around with the TaxBrain tool, which is very cool! I appreciate the effort to make these types of models open to people who can't run them on their own. What has the response to this tool been? Do you have a lot of users, and has it been used in non-economics papers?
