Excerpt:
The biggest issue is that we still have only five quarters of evidence regarding the impact of tax reform on business investment. Many economists forecast a downturn in 2020-2021.

In other words, it remains too soon to tell. But the early returns have been good – much better and more durable than many economists had predicted.
