Moreover, Barro complains that because Christina Romer, who heads President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, has “not [carried out] serious scientific research... on spending multipliers...,” he “cannot understand her rationale for assuming values well above one...” To say that policymakers should rely only on their own personal research to formulate policy seems to me simply bizarre.
再者，巴罗抱怨说是因为奥巴马经济委员会的主席克里斯蒂 娜· 罗默没有“进行认真的科学研究。。。对政府支出系数的影响。。。”他“不能理解其中的基本原理。。。”说决策者应该仅仅依赖个人研究来制定政策未免有点过于夸张。
