美国经济自1991年3月走出低谷以来,平均以每年2.7％的速度稳定增长,到1998年底已经持续了90个月。并且,伴随经济增长的是低通胀、低失业、低财政赤字现象。这也就是“三低一高”的所谓美国“新经济”。 新经济产生的原因:第一是经济的全球化,第二是信息技术革命。 美国经济进入九十年代以来的良好表现,虽然不能都归功于克林顿政府,但就宏观经济政策而言,克林顿政府显然有其独到之处。 第一,紧缩性的财政政策。克林顿之前的十多年里,美国的财政赤字居高不下,到了1992年布什政府时期,联邦赤字竟高达2930亿美元,创历史最高记录。(一)增加税收。增税的范围主要是个人所得税和公司所得税。同时严格执行税法,坚决查处偷税漏税行为。(二)节约开支。在这方面, Since its economic downturn in March 1991, the U.S. economy has steadily grown at an average annual rate of 2.7% and has lasted 90 months by the end of 1998.

The new economy causes: the first is the globalization of the economy, the second is the information technology revolution. The good performance of the U.S. economy since it entered the nineties can not be attributed to the Clinton administration. However, the macroeconomic policy of the Clinton administration obviously has its unique features. First, the tightening fiscal policy.
