Economy

CBO regularly assesses the state of the economy and the impact on the economy of proposed changes in federal spending and taxes. Analysts prepare economic projections that underlie CBO’s projections for the federal budget and cost estimates for proposed legislation; study major aspects of the economy such as trends in productivity and long-term unemployment; and examine the economic impact of changes in the nation’s tax system or reforms to federal programs.

Sub-Topics:

  • Analysis of the President's Budget
  • Budget and Economic Outlook
  • Economic Projections
  • Economic Stimulus
  • International Trade and Finance
  • Long-Term Economic Trends
  • NAFTA
