Biden's infrastructure plan would cut U.S. debt and slightly increase economic growth, Wharton study finds

Wharton found that Biden's infrastructure plan would cut the U.S. debt and slightly increase GDP.

A bipartisan infrastructure deal reached by President Joe Biden and a group of senators would not only add to economic growth, but also lower the national debt, according to a new study from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.

Researchers at the Wharton School said the additional $579 billion in new infrastructure spending would increase domestic output by 0.1% and decrease the U.S. debt by 0.9% by 2050.

“Over time, as the new spending declines, IRS enforcement continues, and revenue grows from higher output, the government debt declines relative to baseline by 0.4 percent and 0.9 percent in 2040 and 2050 respectively,” the Wharton team wrote.

Speaking to CNBC on Tuesday, Wharton senior economist Jon Huntley said improvements to public capital (roads, bridges and other physical infrastructure) makes private capital (trucks and trains hauling goods for companies) more productive over time.

Reopening states will cause 233,000 more people to die from coronavirus, according to Wharton model

Reopening states amid coronavirus could cause as many as 350,000 people to die by the end of June, according to a new Wharton model.

Trump loves to brag that he attended the prestigious Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, as evidence of his supposed genius. He may, however, find himself less than pleased with the Wharton analysis of the consequences of “relaxing lockdowns across U.S. cities and states”:

“According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), reopening states will result in an additional 233,000 deaths from the virus — even if states don’t reopen at all and with social distancing rules in place. This means that if the states were to reopen, 350,000 people in total would die from coronavirus by the end of June, the study found. ... That figure far surpasses estimates and models that the White House has cited from the University of Washington, which put the death toll at roughly 73,000 by the start of August. ... partially reopening would also cause the death toll to rise, the university’s data found. An additional 45,000 lives would be lost, according to Wharton’s Budget Model, bringing the U.S.’s death toll from COVID-19 to 222,000.”
