ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Economic Rules of Thumb
• U.S. Real GDP must rise 3% to keep the unemployment rate from rising
• U.S. Real GDP must rise 4.5% to bring the unemployment rate down 1% during a year
• If the unemployment rate is more than 5%, the inflation rate tends to fall
• If the unemployment rate is more than 6% higher than the inflation rate, the Federal
Reserve won’t increase interest rates
Implications of the Rules of Thumb
• U.S. Real GDP must rise 3% to keep the unemployment rate from rising
– If the expansion starts off slowly, the unemployment rate will keep increasing
• U.S. Real GDP must rise 4.5% to bring the unemployment rate down 1% during a year
– About the best we can hope for is a 1% drop in unemployment during 2010
– It will take at least five years to get the unemployment rate back down to 5%,
where it was before the recession
• If the unemployment rate is more than 5%, the inflation rate tends to fall
– There will be downward pressure on inflation for some time to come
– There’s no big inflation threat any time soon, though oil prices are always a wild
card
• If the unemployment rate is more than 6% higher than the inflation rate, the Federal
Reserve won’t increase interest rates
– A 10% unemployment rate and a 1% inflation rate mean Fed will keep the federal
funds rate near zero during 2010
Summary
• The unemployment rate will stay above 9% in 2010, and may increase a little
• The unemployment rate won’t get back down to 5% until the end of 2014, at the earliest
• There’s no big inflation threat any time soon, and the inflation rate may go down
• The Federal Reserve won’t increase its interest rate in 2010

School Referenda: What Seems to Matter?
• The proposed tax rate
• The existing debt levy per pupil
• Pupils per teacher and enrollment growth
• The change in the county unemployment rate
• The complexity index ( share of pupils eligible for the school lunch program)
School Referenda: What Seems to Matter?
• The proposed tax rate
How much extra will it cost taxpayers?
– An extra ten cents per $100 AV reduces the ―yes‖ vote by 2.6%
• The existing debt levy per pupil
How often have they been to the well?
– An extra $100 per pupil decreases the ―yes‖ vote by 2.5%
• Pupils per teacher and enrollment growth
How great is the need?
– One extra pupil per teacher increases the ―yes‖ vote by 10.6%
– An extra 10% enrollment growth increases the ―yes‖ vote by 5.6%
• The change in the county unemployment rate
How’s the local economy doing?
– A 1% increase in the unemployment rate over the past year decreases the ―yes‖
vote by 4.1%
• The complexity index ( share of pupils eligible for the school lunch program)
Renters who don’t pay property taxes (directly)? Urban areas where school quality has a
greater effect on property values?
– An extra 0.1 on the index increases the yes vote by 13.1%
School Referenda: What Doesn’t Seem to Matter—Yet?
• Capital referenda vs. tax referenda
• November election vs. special election
• Measures of income or wealth
• Share of parents in the voting population
• Share of retired people in the voting population
