Directions to AEI

Clearly, public reaction to policy initiatives is a key determinant of legislative outcomes. Policies often rise or fall based upon public opinion. But where do those opinions come from? Which media are most relied upon by the public for economic information? Recent survey work performed by Princeton economist and former member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, Alan S. Blinder, examines what the public knows about economic policy, and perhaps more importantly, how they learn it. Please join a panel of experts from the media and the economic policy community to discuss this timely research.
