An Economist's Most Regrettable Statement

Sam Peltzman

Econ Journal Watch, 2017, vol. 14, issue 2, 293–294

Abstract: In response to the invitation to speak of my most regretted statements, I speak of just one, my lamentable prediction about the outcome of the 1988 presidential election. I remark on the rashness and naiveté of my prediction.
