Robert Pollin argues that the U.S. government should be aiming for full employment (less than 4 percent unemployment), a policy goal which he says was abandoned in the 1970s because of inflation.

Economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff authored an influential paper on government debt and economic growth was widely cited by policymakers and commentators to justify painful austerity policies. The economists who corrected their errors were three members of the UMass-Amherst economics department: graduate student Thomas Herndon and professors Michael Ash and Robert Pollin.
