Vanguard's Bill McNabb on the cost of uncertainty for the U.S. economy in lower GDP growth and higher unemployment- 2011-2014
04/28/2013
Vanguard economists estimate the cost of uncertainty in deficit reduction policy, uncertainty in monetary policy, uncertainty in foreign policy, uncertainty for business investment, places a drag on the U.S. economy of $261 billion. Stanford University economists Bloom and Baker and University of Chicago economist Davis have done work showing the level of uncertainty in 2011-2012 continuing into 2013 is about 50% higher than the level seen since 1985. Vanguard economsts based their analysis and estimates on this work and identified specific events leading to the overall uncertainty. This has cost the U.S. economy about 1 million jobs, with job growth being 45,000 per month higher without this overall uncertainty hanging over the economy, according to Vanguard estimates.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
