Politically

DeLong is a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and a member of the National Bureau of Economic Research , a research organization specializing in the American economy.

As an official in the Treasury Department under the Clinton's administration, he worked on the 1993 budget . He also took part in the Uruguay Round , a global trade round carried out as part of the GATT , the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA, the (unsuccessful) attempt at reform of the health care system and other political tasks. DeLong is considered both neoliberal (and also regards himself as neoliberal and representative of the neoclassical ) and socially liberal in the American sense. Despite its economic policy orientation, DeLong is now critical of NAFTA and, as a reaction to the financial crisis from 2007 onwards, advocated a more demand-oriented economic policy. In an interview with the Standard he stated: “There are three reasons why the US has been doing better since it plunged the North Atlantic into crisis a few years ago. First, the US has given the economy more support, which is probably the biggest difference in why things are going better for the US. Second, the US has been pursuing a looser monetary policy ... The effects are there, but they are relatively small ... The third is the structural adjustment problem in the periphery of Europe. Until 2008, German and Dutch savers were willing to take big risks in Spain, Italy and Greece. This willingness is no longer there. ”In 2009, he demanded in an open letter to the Chancellor of his university the dismissal of a colleague, the law professor John Yoo .
