This week, EconoFact Chats features an abridged version of an Ask Me Anything webinar co-hosted with The Journalist's Resource on the economic consequences of the war in Iran. Panelists Binyamin Applebaum (New York Times), Nicholas Bloom (Stanford), Michael Klein (EconoFact) and David Victor (UC San Diego) discussed the energy market disruptions stemming from the war, how increased uncertainty has slowed hiring and investment, the bind facing the Federal Reserve as it confronts simultaneous supply and demand shocks, and the divergent energy policy responses emerging in the United States and Europe.
