The Economic Report of the President, 2010, is Now Out by Dr. Douglas O. Walker

The ERP is issued every year by the President's Council of Economic Advisors in February. It reviews the current state and performance of the economy and outlines the goals of the Administration and the policies being pursued to attain these goals.

Here are the chapters in this year's report:
  1. TO RESCUE, REBALANCE, AND REBUILD
  2. RESCUING THE ECONOMY FROM THE GREAT RECESSION 
  3. CRISIS AND RECOVERY IN THE WORLD ECONOMY
  4. SAVING AND INVESTMENT 
  5. ADDRESSING THE LONG-RUN FISCAL CHALLENGE 
  6. BUILDING A SAFER FINANCIAL SYSTEM
  7. REFORMING HEALTH CARE
  8. STRENGTHENING THE AMERICAN LABOR FORCE
  9. TRANSFORMING THE ENERGY SECTOR AND ADDRESSING CLIMATE 
  10. FOSTERING PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH T HROUGH INNOVATION AND TRADE
Appendixes to the ERP review the work of the Council and provide comprehensive and up-to-date data on many aspects of the economy.

Copies of the ERP (the complete report or individual chapters) can be downloaded in pdf format here. A summary of key points in the Report by the Chairman of the Council, Christina Romer, can be found here.

The ERP is an important document written to high standards and containing much information about the Administration's policies and expectations about the course of the economy in the years ahead.

Links to comments on the report by outside economists will be posted when they become available.
