EDV: Fiscal Stimulus Is A Short-Term Negative, Long-Term Positive

Summary

  • Long-term Treasury yields follow the direction of growth and inflation over time.
  • Real per capita GDP growth continues to decline as population growth and productivity growth weaken under a growing debt overhang.
  • Lower rates of real GDP growth create excess capacity in labor and industrial utilization that weigh on the inflation rate.
  • Fiscal stimulus will create a short-term boost to growth and inflation at the expense of creating an even larger debt overhang that will weigh on productivity growth in the future.
