Attributed private estimate — later revised

June reporting attributed to Mark Zandi an estimate of about $100 billion, or $750 per household, from military spending and energy-price effects. By July 1 he described a $1,000-per-household estimate. The public reporting did not expose a complete underlying model, so both figures remain attributed, dated estimates rather than independently reproduced totals.
