What’s Down with Inflation?
FRBSF,
2017
Recommendation
Between the end of the Great Recession in June 2009 and the close of 2017, inflation remained below the Federal Reserve’s 2% goal. Economists Tim Mahedy and Adam Shapiro explore the landscape of a low-inflation environment and the surprising factor behind it. Whether the 0.5% rise in consumer prices in January 2018 signals the start of an inflationary trend or turns out to be a short-term spike is unclear, but getAbstract nonetheless recommends this astute report to analysts, economists and executives interested in what drives inflation.
