What voters need to know about Harris’ and Trump’s
economic policy proposals

Harris’s Plan Is Economically Dumb but Politically
Smart
Josh Barro:
The first example is Harris’s proposal to fight
inflation through a new federal law on price gouging. My guess is such a law
would be designed in such a way that it would have little effect on the market.
But if it did have effects on the market, they would tend to be negative, as
with President Richard Nixon’s price and wage controls in the 1970s.
According to the Econ 101 model of prices and supply,
when a product is in shortage, its price goes up to bring quantity demanded in
line with quantity supplied. This price increase sends a signal to producers to
make more stuff. If you cap prices, you get shortages. That’s because there
isn’t enough of the demanded good to go around, and producers don’t have
sufficient incentive to start making more of the good to meet demand in the
future.
