Data & perspective Inflation peaked in June 2022 The deceleration we have seen since is the fastest in 50 years, w/o brutal rise in unemployment. The length of time that prices accelerated was short in historically but the first such acceleration in decades. Still painful.…
Ok nerds, let’s talk triangle weighting. A lot of people (well, two…) have asked my why March core PCE inflation came in as expected at 0.3%, when that was the expectation *before* the GDP report came out with the higher-than-expected core rate for Q1. After all…
Real disposable personal income per capita is roughly consistent with CBO's pre-pandemic forecast. Real consumption per capita is well above that forecast. Squaring the circle: the saving rate is low.
Core PCE inflation over the last 3 months was a 4.4% annual rate. That is higher than any time from Nov 1990 to Mar 2021. Yes, there were special factors, seasonal issues, etc. But there were also special factors & seasonal issues at various times in those previous 30 years.
I've been impressed with the rapid amount of change being catalyzed by the CHIPS program. But then again, I know vastly less about the topic than @crmiller1 does.

168K Followers 918 Following wrote a book called "in this economy?" | (almost) daily economic videos | writing, podcast, and youtube 👻As you know, my favorite Jason Furman statistic is the ecumenical #PCE inflation measure (8 different measures over 3 different time periods annualized) comes in at 3% actually down a tenth (but far from the 2% target).
The PCE-based Ecumenical underlying inflation measure was 3.0% in March, down 0.1pp from February. This is the median of 24 different measures: 8 different bases over 3, 6 and 12 months. FWIW, my own judgment is underlying inflation is 2.5 to 3.0%, probably top of that range.
Fine about the last sentence. If they have made their argument well, there would be no point.
@DeanBaker13 2. If long terms--and the Governors actually stay for them--then my concern in (1) is less germane. 3. Fine for CEA to do analysis on dynamics of inflation, unemployment, interest rates. But they shouldn't add the last sentence, "so the Fed should do X." And this one hasn't.
@jasonfurman Your posts are always a great summary, thank you.
@jasonfurman Thank you for clarifying, much appreciated Jason
@jasonfurman Had both growth and PCE gone down, the stock market would ripped to the upside, and interest rates would have fallen because it would have resurrected the possibility of an early Fed cut, as early as the June meeting, and leave open the possibility for 2-3 more in 2024.
@belaischa @jasonfurman I absolutely agree. It could make sense to leave some reallocation-induced productivity growth on the table in favor of employment for that very reason.
@jasonfurman Because if there's anything Donald Trump believes in, it's democracy . . .
@jasonfurman I am not among them. This would be nothing short of disastrous.
I found this from the IMF pretty shocking: Europe and Canada have basically offset the *entire* post-2008 reduction in overall labor force participation from aging by increasing female labor force participation. Clearly something for us to learn from.
It's worth a bit more angsting, studying & debating what we can do in the United States to improve our labor market recoveries. The European one was much better--got back to pre-COVID by mid-2021, a year and a half before we did. And prime age EPOP now 2pp higher than pre-COVID.
@jasonfurman Omg one of the most terrifying stories of my childhood. It still scares me.
Sorry. I've thought about it a bit and I'm wrong. Robots are boring, and this is extremely funny.
Not working in economics anymore, but much love as a casual consumer of the output--the state of economics looks pretty good these days and keeps getting better

Sometimes I feel like focusing on policies that only affect growth rates by a few tenths of a percentage point feels small. But then I remind myself that the difference between the United States and Argentina over the last 120 years was 0.5 percentage point.
The Y axis is logarithmic. The power of compound.
