Plunge in Oil Prices and U.S. Economy
• Strong supply and weak global demand
o Nov 2014 OPEC decision to maintain production
o Nuclear deal with Iran
o Shale oil • For the U.S., a net importer of oil, the main effects are:
o Incomes: real incomes and consumption rise Estimated $400+ gain for typical household in 2016
o Costs & Profits: Sharp fall in oil exploration related investment
(“capex”) Other investment should gradually rise
o Inflation: headline and core inflation fall temporarily

Economic Forecasts
34
Forecasts Are Hazardous
• Very difficult to forecast GDP (output) growth with any reasonable degree of accuracy: o The economy continually evolves
o Shocks are common, but unpredictable
o Turning points are hard to identify in real time
• It was easier to forecast inflation – somewhat little less so now
• Average or combinations of forecasts may be better than any individual forecast e.g. for the U.S.: o SPF (Survey of Professional Forecasters)
o Blue Chip Economic Indicators
o FOMC (Federal Open Markets Committee)
