Inequality hysteresis
Growing economic inequality has become a matter of increasing public and policymaking concern in recent years, driven by the compounded effects of technical change and rapid globalisation not fully offset by anti-poverty and inequality mitigating policies. Resurgent food and energy inflation in 2022 and deep recessions related to the Covid-19 pandemic are aggravating this trend, ...

‘People should be more aware’: the business dynasties who benefited from Nazis
A new book has been released which looks at some companies which benefited from Nazi connections. TheGuardian profiles the book and the author: Colonial and Confederate statues toppled. Looted objects returned by contrite museums. Tainted family names such as Sackler expunged from buildings. A worldwide reckoning with the past crimes of great powers is under way. But is there a glaring omission? A new book, Nazi Billionaires, investigates how...

What economic model produces the Fed’s inflation forecast?
John Cochrane's blog has always been a favorite of mine. It's provocative. It's entertaining. And it invariably leads me to reflect on a variety of notions I have floating around in my head. In his latest piece, he asks an interesting question: How does the Fed come up with its inflation forecast? What sort of model might be embedded in the minds of FOMC members? I like the question and the thought experiment. My comments below should not be...

Why Countries Must Cooperate on Carbon Prices
By Jean Chateau, Florence Jaumotte and Gregor Schwerhoff An international floor price for carbon could speed the world’s transition to green energy without compromising countries’ competitiveness. Recent surges in food and fuel costs are hurting households everywhere.

Where are the customers’ rate increases?
U.S. banks are at it again. Inflation is at its highest level in decades. At the same time, interest rates on deposits at the Fed, Treasury bills, bonds and mortgages are rising rapidly to compensate. Yet banks are still in a holding pattern when it comes to the interest rates they pay to customers on savings accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), and interest-checking accounts. Here's the chart, which uses FDIC data from FRED. Note how...

Donghoon Lee and Joseph Tracy Tight inventories of homes for sale combined with strong demand pushed up national house prices by an eye-popping 19 percent, year over year, in January 2022. This surge in house prices created concerns that first-time buyers would increasingly be priced out of owning a home. However, using our Consumer Credit Panel, which is based on anonymized Equifax credit report data, we find that the share of purchase...
