The Economic Consequences of the Second Trump Administration: A Preliminary Assessment delivers a timely, expert analysis of the economic shifts unfolding following President Trump’s return to office. Amid sweeping tariffs, sharp breaks in global alliances, assertions of presidential supremacy, government downsizing, deregulation, and risks to the rule of law, this volume offers thoughtful, evidence-based insights into how these policies may affect growth, trade, investment, inflation, stability, and the role of the dollar.

The Rapid Response book draws on contributions from global experts assessing both domestic and international consequences. Their preliminary assessments are clear: heightened uncertainty, lower economic growth, and risks in the long run to U.S. economic leadership and the multilateral order.

Accessible yet deeply informed, this volume is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how President Trump’s second term is reshaping the economic trajectory of the United States and the rest of the world.

Join Simon Johnson and Beatrice Weder di Mauro (joint editors with Gary Gensler and Ugo Panizza), chapter author Ethan Ilzetzki, and CEPR's chair, Sir Charles Bean, for lunch and a presentation and discussion of the book, which is planned for publication on Wednesday 18th June.
