4:33 pm
progress has a plan to appease everyone, provided for military and domestic spending to trillionsd up of dollars. by more, we are joined george perks, is the global strategist and he joins us from winston-salem, north carolina. that start by talking about the gdp impact, the net gdp impact. is tax cuts, spending as a result of the budget, we have disaster relief there too. george: thanks for having me on. cuts and the tax loosened caps on
4:34 pm
domestic spending is going to have an impact on gdp over the next two years. between 1% andre 2.5% in the next fiscal year, and the fiscal year is spending in december 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. the economy is close to full employment, but at the end of the day we are certainly closer to what looks like a late cycle economy than an early cycle economy, so it is relatively unusual to see an economy go ofough an aggressive about stimulus. -- the chartow shows the increase, and for several years stimulus growth. joe: the irony is that for years economist said more fiscal stimulus is what is needed because the economy is not at
4:35 pm
full employment or operating at below capacity. will it help, is this good? there is partisan issues, but in your view, given where the economy is, is this good? think it is worthwhile to consider what we define as good. will it have a positive impact on employment, yes, it well, it will have a positive impact on growth, on inflation? yes, it will. is that combination of different outcomes the best in for the economy? it is hard to say because we can't be extremely sure of how much slack there is, the government fixed there is -- that we are running out of slack, but the major population ratio is not indicating extremely high labor markets, so what we're going to see is an interesting experiment. we are going to see inflation go higher, it is relatively low,
4:36 pm
and where going to stick late and economy that is up to potential pace. joe: we are looking at a chart fed'sing play lands year-over-year, and the inflation gauge in the last 12 months -- what is that inflation gauge because it looks like indicating we will see higher inflation. the new york fed gauge is designed to take a look at both price indices that you see and market like cpi indicators as well as other stuff thrown in to get an idea of how strong the underlying innd in an nation is -- inflation is. some adjustments to consumer spending over time -- maybe the underlying inflation gauge signals back price pressures will continue rising we think it
4:37 pm
is a good chance that the current trend will be higher and the cbi is something we will keep seeing. because ofian cpi different outcomes, and it is important to note that in this past months inflation report, was marketable -- it was remarkable because it was quite something, we saw the highest and month over month, three month, and six-month changes since 2007, so that is a big deal. it looks like that was exactly right, janet yellen now to another economic addiction that pressures will fade off and would see rotter price growth, and that is what we are getting. you doesn't mean we are in a world of stagnation, he looked sick relative to the low-inflation environment where been in exam picking up a little bit. scarlet: i like the phrase he used, interesting experiment. if wees the fed tackle
4:38 pm
have gone through this extraordinary -- uncharted territory? will those tools be as effective? in terms of siding inflation, the fed is going to run merely focus on raising the fed funds rate. i was a bit unpredictable happens -- that is going to be operating in the background. they have been consistent in saying that, so it is unlikely. happen, butit won't it is unlikely. the post crisis experience with monetary policy indicates that the size of the bounce sheet -- there's other stuff going on, it is a function of labor markets, the u.s. dollar, pricing power at various -- varioussinesses types of businesses.
4:39 pm
as the economy generates more inflation than we have seen recently and above the fed target, it is important to note that we are not at the fed target for inflation. watching the dynamics between the cpi indices are some of the other inflation indicators is important. isre is no sign that fed going to immediately start hiking rates super aggressively we saw in the middle of the 2000 cycle, and create financial issues for the rest -- not real economy, which is what happened last time. they are trying to avoid that and, slow, steady, persistent, dependent on the data is what we are likely to see from the fed. julia: very quickly, because this is an important piece of what isaw puzzle -- going on with that breakdown in relationship with the rates in the u.s. dollar?
4:40 pm
is it a burgeoning deficit? george: post crisis we saw good correlation between the value of the dollar and the interest rate spread versus other currencies. so ithe last year or hasn't been true, and we see the opposite of positive correlation versus a negative one. with that means in terms of the deficit, we don't know it is relevant, but we see a strong growth in places like europe that haven't seen strong growth in a long time. the dollar is a function of a risk-taking appetite and people loans, realund new economic activity, or are there things in the dollar, and that is what i think is responsible for what has happened in the u.s. dollar versus a narrative around the deficit. george, thank you. theng up, harvard alums say
4:41 pm
school is taking their strategy. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:42 pm
4:43 pm
scarlet: harvard is making less money using hedge funds than it would have invested in isn't the -- if it invested in snp. let's begin michael mcdonald, burke endowment reporter in boston, and the group of alumni taking this argument are from the class of 1969 and they have been a thorn on harvard management company side, and what exactly are they proposing? interesting is that it is about the timing.
4:44 pm
there is a new president coming into harvard and that is who the letter is addressed to. he is going is how to interact with the head of harvard management company oversees the endowment and what kind of thoughts is going to bring as one of the members of the board that sits on -- that oversees the endowment. another thing interesting here is the timing around the debate of active versus passive management. there is a debate going on in the world of endowment and foundation and that sort of goes to the heart that question. joe: i am curious what the debate looks like because we have to active versus passive when itll the time comes to investors, but there is another world of endowment and long terms, and everyone warships at the altar of the yale guy. whether people saying
4:45 pm
endowment should go the passive route? there is debate going on about that, and the s&p 500 outperforming hedge funds and diversified portfolios, it make sense there is that debate going on. 52ever, it is the smaller $100 million endowment when you get into this world of multibillion-dollarmultibillion. they are the actively manage portfolios, that being said, you look at harvard management and they are investing more and passive strategies because the smartest and dow make managers are looking for ways to squeeze out costs anywhere they can. it is it going to be half of the portfolio as the alumni once, but it is more than it once before and it is something they are talking about and thinking about places like harvard management. as you know, harvard
4:46 pm
has the most in its and dow meant, $37 billion, followed by the school in new haven at $27 billion, but at returns, you don't see harvard up there. through your returns, harvard there is aot there, lot of turmoil at the top there of harvard management company -- what have they not been able to figure out the right recipe? the right group of people to manage this? for the plugk you for the endowment function which i have been involved with. harvard has a series of issues in the way they run their management company and they are trying to address those. they are cutting hundreds of people from their staff and are looking to manage the endowment more like yale and columbia, where the ceo is from. the timing of that, look at the timing of this letter. i don't know how these things
