Why has inflation been stuck at 3% for two years? @DavidBeckworth argues the Fed's 2% target is slipping out of reach, not because of lost resolve, but because fiscal pressures are taking over. With debt heading past 120% of GDP and interest costs approaching $2 trillion, higher…

Very nice cross-country update on the "2 faces" of deflation. Under the gold standard, there was little avg relationship between deflation & lower real output, interest rates, or financial intermediation. Bc good (supply) deflation & bad (demand) deflation were about as common.

Is there such a thing as "benign deflation"? Ben Bernanke once said it is possible, but not probable. @BryanPCutsinger joins me on the pod this week to make the case that it actually happened! (1/2)

Great to be back on @Macro_Musings to discuss supply driven deflation with the great @DavidBeckworth. We talked a lot about my paper (link below) with @casey_joe on the effects of supply driven deflation on financial intermediation and nominal interest rates. Check it out!

Very cool episode where my co-author @BryanPCutsinger discusses a recent working paper of ours on deflation, and deflation more generally. Furthermore, @BryanPCutsinger's mustache is on point!
