Last month, the online magazine Current announced it will be shuttering in April. A small magazine run by a dedicated team of editors volunteering their time, Current was a lovely diamond in a whole mess of internet rough. I was only able to publish a few short pieces there since discovering it, but many of my favorite writers have appeared in its digital pages, and the outpouring of support it has received since the announcement makes me confident that it will be sorely missed.

Earlier this week, John Fea, the Executive Editor of Current, where I have had the honor of serving first as Book Review Editor and more recently as Managing Editor, posted this sad announcement: the three founding editors of Current have made the difficult decision to end the magazine. Our final date of publication will be April 4th—the fourth anniversary of the magazine’s launch. So, this moment is not the end yet, but the end is in sight.

January 28, 2025By Philip D. BunnHigher education faces a crisis at the hands of new “Artificial Intelligence” tools. Everyone is on edge, and sides are being chosen. Some side with the optimists, gleefully proclaiming the advantages of our new tools and the work they will do for us. Others, like me, are less sanguine about the state of education in the ChatGPT era. Everyone is grappling with questions of academic dishonesty, the possibility of being made irrelevant or obsolete, and more.

Staff Working Paper No. 1,107By Philip Bunn, Lena Anayi, Nicholas Bloom, Paul Mizen, Gregory Thwaites and Ivan YotzovMacro data suggest a convex relationship between inflation and economic slack, but identifying causality in this setting is challenging. Using data from large panel surveys of UK and US firms we show that the response of prices to demand shocks is also convex at the firm level.

Staff Working Paper No. 1,085By Ivan Yotzov, Nicholas Bloom, Philip Bunn, Paul Mizen and Gregory ThwaitesThis paper analyses the response of firms to monthly CPI inflation releases using high-frequency data from a large economy-wide business survey. CPI inflation perceptions respond very quickly, in a matter of hours after the release. We also find that firms’ expected own-price growth has a strong positive correlation with changes in CPI inflation, particularly for increases in inflation.
