Abstract: Abstract A large cloud of uncertainty hangs over the economic outlook, particularly the outlook for productivity growth and the long-term trend growth of output. This uncertainty stems from three sources: (a) the fiscal outlook, (b) the policy agenda shifting from campaign promises to partisan opportunity, and (c) the large reliance on executive branch actions. I discuss the foundations and likely evolution of policy uncertainty over the initial months of the Trump Administration.
