ASA Podcast: New Presidential Administration—Navigating Economic Shifts Ahead

In the latest episode of the ASA podcast, Dr. Chris Kuehl, the Chief Economist, talks about the challenges that come with a new presidential administration. He focuses on two big priorities for the new government and whether these priorities are really essential. Dr. Kuehl also looks at how much compliance costs have changed over the last decade and what that means for businesses today. He questions how much regulatory activity can actually do and whether we will see real changes in the future.
 

Dr. Kuehl also discusses USAID, explaining what it is, why it spends so much money, and how it all started. He looks at how the agency has changed over time and what’s needed to reform it without breaking it apart. This is important because USAID plays a big role in helping other countries, but changes are needed to make it more effective.
 

Another topic Dr. Kuehl brings up is the energy sector and why it’s so important right now. He also talks about how industries like data centers and high-tech companies need to keep working toward their goals while also focusing on bigger economic and sustainability goals.
