The White House's plan to implement higher tariffs aims to generate revenue for the U.S. economy, but it could have adverse effects on GDP and wages. Kent, the faculty director of the Penn Wharton Budget Model, highlights the overlooked impact of tariffs on capital flows, which could make it harder for the U.S. government to manage its growing federal debt. Over time, the tariffs could reduce GDP by as much as 7.5% by 2054 and decrease wages by over 6%, significantly affecting investment and long-term economic growth. This interview was recorded on April 11th, 2025.

During "fresh starts" in our lives, The Wharton School Professor Katy Milkman has found that these moments in time can help people forgive themselves of their past mistakes and pursue their goals with more optimism.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Katy Milkman, a professor at Wharton, studies psychological factors influencing retirement savings, particularly the "fresh start effect," which motivates people to adopt new financial behaviors during symbolic new beginnings. She found that framing retirement-saving opportunities around fresh-start dates, such as birthdays or New Year's Day, significantly increased savings rates among employees who previously saved little or nothing. However, Milkman also discovered that peer comparisons, particularly highlighting high savings among coworkers, unexpectedly reduced retirement savings participation among lower-income, unionized workers due to feelings of inadequacy or demotivation.

Private equity investment in the U.S. healthcare sector has grown significantly over the past decade, peaking in 2021 with $100 billion in deals, though it slowed in 2022–2023 due to economic factors. While private equity can improve efficiency and provide capital and management support, concerns persist around reduced care quality, lack of transparency, and increased healthcare costs. Several states, including Pennsylvania, are now exploring regulatory measures to increase oversight and transparency in private equity healthcare transactions.

Wharton’s Gad Allon discusses the multifaceted impact of tariffs on the airline industry, emphasizing how globally distributed supply chains make maintenance and manufacturing more expensive. He explains that rising costs—especially for parts like engines and landing gear—will likely lead to higher ticket prices, fewer flight routes, and aging fleets. Low-cost carriers and complex airlines are expected to be hit hardest, as they have less financial flexibility to absorb these increased expenses.

How do foreign tax policy decisions for U.S. multinational corporations affect local jobs? The Wharton School Professor Dan Garrett discusses his research on the effects on the domestic labor market.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
In this episode of The Ripple Effect, Wharton finance professor Daniel Garrett discusses his research on how international tax policy—specifically the “check-the-box” rule and repatriation holidays—impacts U.S. multinational firms and domestic employment. He explains the competing forces of a wealth effect, where firms grow and potentially invest more at home, and a substitution effect, where firms shift operations abroad due to lower foreign tax burdens. Garrett’s findings reveal that the substitution effect often dominates, resulting in reduced domestic investment and employment.
