After the Boom: Texas Economy Downshifts in Energy Bust
While the global oil price collapse has slowed Texas’ economic growth, the state is in a much better position to weather the storm than it was during the 1980s recession and banking crisis. In a series of essays, Dallas Fed economists take an in-depth look at the factors that contributed to the bust and what comes next, including the outlooks for energy, banking, housing and jobs and wages. The report also examines the potential impact of the slowdown in China’s economy on the state’s growth.
