noneconomists
Not fiscal experts
Noneconomists are people who are not economists—that is, those without formal training or professional expertise in economics.
The term typically appears in discussions where economic concepts are being explained to a general audience, or where the perspectives of laypeople are contrasted with those of specialists.
The book makes monetary policy accessible to noneconomists.
Noneconomists often underestimate how markets respond to incentives.
