The Inflation Outlook 1 Credit 1 Credit
Since the end of the 2020 COVID lockdowns, inflation has exploded into a
problem that persistently influences many aspects of our lives as consumers and
investors.
How did it
happen? How long will it last? How will markets respond?
First, the
instructor will discuss the measurement of inflation, including the major
public measures of inflation, and will also explain why inflation often feels
different (usually higher) than the reports say it is. In doing so, he will
also explain why some critiques of the Consumer Price Index are wrong and will
go into enough modest detail that students will have a framework with which to
examine the monthly CPI report and look for clues.
The instructor
will discuss different aspects of the current economic landscape, including
fiscal, monetary, and administrative policy going into and coming out of the
global pandemic. Components of the current inflation outlook are explained in
detail, with expectations for the balance of 2022, 2023, and beyond explained.
He will explain how shortages and price increases are related; the difference
between a supply shock and demand shock and how businesses are responding and
changing their business models in response to inflation, in ways that will
render the inflation harder to extinguish.
A fair amount of
discussion will involve contrasting monetary policy as currently practiced by
central banks with monetary policy as previously practiced, with explicit
analysis (and criticism where warranted). We will examine the concept of
equilibrium nominal interest rates and equilibrium real rates, and why
intuition based on microeconomic understandings sometimes leads observers –
including central bankers – to erroneous conclusions.
Fully half of all Americans alive today were born
after the last time we saw inflation this high. In this CPE Finance course, we will relearn the lessons of a
generation and a half ago.
