I imagine this is how many people feel about the lunar hoax issue. I would suggest two things. Look at their credentials and see if they are a working economist or simply a lobbyist, shill or woo-woo. And also check if they are giving their professional or personal opinion. And if they represent an institution you should consider the reputation of that institution. For example do they represent Harvard or the United States government?
