Supreme Court Rulings on Economic Policy
Policy Court is a column advising America’s economic policy decisions in the format of Supreme Court resolutions. Whereas a single author offers criticisms and solutions in a traditional economics column, the authors of Policy Court asses each policy decision with a majority opinion, and are given the flexibility to concur with that solution, concur in part and dissent in part, or dissent completely. America trusts this format to address its most controversial legal issues because it allows for a varied interpretation of the law, building a consensus while still providing the opinions of the minority. So why not apply the Supreme Court format to economics? Given the debate over the legitimacy and application of economic theories—not to mention economists’ varied outlook on future domestic growth—it makes particular sense.
