Keeping inflation expectations well-anchored is essential for the Fed. Why are consumers signaling much higher near-term expectations than the market experts? It's a matter of measurement and post-pandemic mentality, says @JeffHorwich. Full article: https://t.co/8GDes1xIxB https://t.co/UjhccjWHmK

Consumer inflation fears were a recurring theme after the last Fed press conference, reaffirmed by new @Conferenceboard numbers this week. What's got people on edge and how worried should we be?

Keeping inflation expectations "anchored" is essential. But consumers seem to expect a lot more inflation in the near future than market experts. @JeffHorwich explains the apparent gap between households and the pros. Go in-depth with the full article. https://t.co/8GDes1xIxB

Economists at @MinneapolisFed are updating economic models and theory to help policymakers consider how major economic events like tariffs could flow through the economy. When faced with a difficult trade-off, what effects should take priority?

Minneapolis Fed @MinneapolisFed

A tariff raises prices but also creates economic inefficiencies. Our @JavierBianchi7 & @LouphouC of @WIeconomics find that to combat the recessionary effects of the tariff, a welfare-maximizing central bank would be willing to tolerate higher inflation. https://t.co/07W6o2IaTe https://t.co/CKv8SV9dkN

I had a wonderful time working with Jim Schmitz for this update on his effort of many decades to unearth and interpret the history--and explore the future--of manufactured housing.

By the early '70s mobile homes topped 1/3 of new single-family homes. But uptake was widely uneven across the U.S. Why did this heyday happen? Why did it end? @JeffHorwich on new research from our James Schmitz, Mark Wright of @StLouisFed & @efalcettoni ⬇️ https://t.co/OgCrRqQssx https://t.co/ofRZDxDKhJ

Here is some tortured economic logic: Because some ag products 🥑🫐🍅are optimally grown in Mexico, Mexico has developed excessive pricing power. Tariffs will force new competition from U.S. and elsewhere, thereby bringing prices down.🤯 Um...say what now? https://t.co/X02VhJnkd7

I needed a few moments to teach myself how to take in a "spider chart," but I now feel like Spider-Man reading the @AtlantaFed's method of visualizing 16 labor market indicators at once. (Upshot: Not great, esp. the hiring items.) https://t.co/2ehhoaLfq9 https://t.co/H5nqsfXj4n
