This paper reports the results of a survey of top economics bloggers. The survey was conducted in mid-October 2010 by soliciting input from among the top 200 economics bloggers as ranked by Palgrave’s Econolog.net. While many (around 50 percent) of the sixty-seven respondents have participated in all quarterly surveys, the results across quarters are not directly comparable. For this survey, four bloggers submitted questions of their own design: Bryan Caplan (Econlog) James Hamilton (EconBrowser), Mark Thoma (Economist’s View), and Felix Salmon (Reuters). The Kauffman Foundation is dedicated to the idea that entrepreneurship and innovation drive economic growth. Naturally, this new technology of blogging is a fascinating one, both for its effect on the economic research frontier, but also as an innovation in its own right. A survey of so many high-profile participants offers a unique opportunity for discussion, and this survey should be viewed as one way of summarizing some of the insights of the community of economics bloggers. KEY FINDINGS THE ECONOMY Economics bloggers are more pessimistic in their outlook on the U.S. economy than in any previous quarterly survey in 2010, with 99 percent saying that conditions are mixed, facing recession, or in recession. For an economy in which growth is the norm, 38 percent of respondents think that the U.S. economy is worse than official statistics indicate, and only 9 percent believe it is better. When asked to describe the economy using five adjectives, “uncertain” was used most frequently. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS Although the panel is largely non-partisan, a three-to-one majority of top economics bloggers believes the government is too involved in the economy. The top policy recommendation (selected from a small set of choices) is for the government to “approve trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama,” with 97 percent support. This pales compared to the consensus against the proposal to “suspend foreclosures.” Three-fifths of respondents favor a one-year partial payroll tax holiday (19 percent strongly) versus two-fifths opposed (with only 3 percent feeling strongly). Promoting entrepreneurship is a consensus agenda among policymakers. However, only 37 percent agree with a policy of “subsidizing new firm formation with targeted spending and tax benefits,” with 63 percent disagreeing (28 percent strongly). The alternative option to “reduce regulatory burdens and fees on new firm formation” is favored by 82 percent of respondents. Rather than recommending that the government get more involved in helping entrepreneurs, top economics bloggers recommend that it simply do less to hinder them. SURVEY RESULTS The Kauffman Economic Outlook includes core questions that will recur each quarter and one-time-only topical questions. Core questions focus on two areas, and are presented in the charts and tables below: the performance of the U.S. economy and policy assessments and recommendations. Finally, there are topical questions provided by economics bloggers themselves, which are not categorized
