Reinhart and Rogoff

Reinhart and Rogoff are economists known for their research on national debt and economic growth. They studied how high levels of government debt can impact a country's economy, finding that when debt exceeds about 90% of GDP, economic growth tends to slow down. Their work suggests that excessive debt may hinder economic progress, influencing policymakers to be cautious about rising national debt levels. Their findings have sparked debate and research on debt sustainability, fiscal policy, and economic forecasting.
