Economist Justin Wolfers Challenges JD Vance's Inflation Promise: 'Couldn't Find A Single Economist Who Believes Trump Will Lower Grocery Costs'
Wolfers further highlighted a study from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, which predicts that Trump's policies could raise U.S. inflation by over 4 percentage points by 2026.Economist Justin Wolfers has publicly disputed claims made by Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance regarding inflation and grocery prices. Wolfers challenged Vance's assertion that former President Donald Trump would reduce grocery costs.
經濟學家Justin Wolfers公開對共和黨副總統候選人JD Vance關於通脹和雜貨價格的說法提出質疑。Wolfers質疑了Vance關於前總統特朗普將降低雜貨成本的說法。
What Happened: On Monday, Vance stated on X that Trump would lower grocery prices and secure the southern border, contrasting this with Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he claimed would continue high prices and border chaos. In response, Wolfers countered that economists anticipate Trump's plans would lead to a significant inflation increase.
發生了什麼：週一，Vance在X上表示特朗普將降低雜貨價格並保障南部邊境安全，與其相對比的是副總統賀錦麗，他聲稱賀錦麗將繼續高漲的價格和邊境混亂。作爲回應，Wolfers反駁稱經濟學家預計特朗普的計劃會導致顯著的通脹增加。
Wolfers emphasized his point by stating, "Couldn't find a single economist who believes Trump will lower grocery prices," and challenged Vance to name any economist who supports his claim.
Wolfers強調他的觀點，稱，「找不到一個經濟學家認爲特朗普會降低雜貨價格」，並挑戰Vance命名支持他說法的任何經濟學家。
Wolfers further highlighted a study from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, which predicts that Trump's policies could raise U.S. inflation by over 4 percentage points by 2026.
Wolfers進一步強調了彼得森國際經濟研究所的一項研究，預測特朗普的政策可能會在2026年之前使美國通脹率增加超過4個百分點。
The research outlined scenarios involving the deportation of unauthorized workers, increased tariffs, and potential erosion of Federal Reserve independence, all contributing to the inflation forecast.
該研究概述了涉及驅逐非法工人、增加關稅以及可能侵蝕聯儲局獨立性的情景，所有這些都對通脹預測有所貢獻。
Still no takers. Literally not a single economist alive who believes the claim from @JDVance that he'll reduce grocery prices.

依然無人接受。真的是一個活着的經濟學家也不相信@JDVance會降低雜貨價格的說法。

Why It Matters: The debate between Wolfers and Vance comes amid broader discussions about the potential economic impact of a Trump presidency.
爲什麼重要：Wolfers與Vance之間的辯論出現在有關特朗普總統任期可能帶來的潛在經濟影響的更廣泛討論中。
In August, Wolfers expressed skepticism about Trump's economic team, calling it the "least impressive" in history and criticizing Trump's approach to policy-making. Wolfers warned that Trump's policies might be made up on the fly, lacking serious economic backing.
今年八月，Wolfers對特朗普的經濟團隊表示懷疑，稱其爲歷史上「最不令人印象深刻的團隊」，批評特朗普的政策制定方式。Wolfers警告稱，特朗普的政策可能是臨時拍腦門，缺乏嚴肅的經濟支持。
Additionally, a recent survey conducted in October suggested that Trump's economic policies could drive inflation and federal deficits higher than those proposed by Harris. The survey indicated that 68% of economists expect prices to rise more rapidly under Trump than Harris.
此外，十月份進行的一項最新調查表明，特朗普的經濟政策可能會導致通脹和聯邦赤字比賀錦麗提出的要高。該調查顯示，68%的經濟學家預計在特朗普領導下，價格上漲速度將比賀錦麗更快。
Furthermore, Singapore's state-owned investment firm Temasek warned that a potential Trump re-election could slow global growth, affecting U.S. companies and financial markets. The firm highlighted that Trump's tariffs might create uncertainty and negatively impact emerging markets.
此外，新加坡國有投資公司淡馬錫警告稱，特朗普可能連任會拖累全球增長，影響美國企業和金融市場。該公司指出，特朗普的關稅可能帶來不確定性，對新興市場造成負面影響。
