How have these conversations affected the markets\, interest rates\, and inflation? Will Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts produce significant savings? What will the likely impact of tax changes be on the future path of deficits? How should the average taxpayer plan for the future with these moves under consideration? \nJoin fellow UW alumni and friends online for a livestream and Q & A with a panel of experts who will discuss these topics. The talk will be moderated by Mike Knetter\, from the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association. \nSpeakers\nAnanth Seshadri\, PhD\, is the Mary Sue and Mike Shannon Distinguished Chair for Economics and a professor of economics at UW–Madison. He is also codirector of the Center for Research on the Wisconsin Economy (CROWE). Seshadri specializes in macroeconomics and public finance.

He was awarded a research fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2006.
