We have a new paper on the overstated effects of conventional monetary policy on output and prices. Results reported in the literature are plagued by p-hacking and publication bias, leading to inflated effect sizes of how interest rate hikes affect output and prices.

Research by IMF economists shows that the rise and fall of inflation in advanced economies since 2020 has mostly been driven by supply shocks (energy, food, supply chains). Macroeconomic conditions "played a secondary role".

According to a new report, these ultra-frequent-flyers, UFFs (>6 flights/yr) were responsible for 63% of new passenger traffic over the last 20 years.

We need a frequent flyer tax not a 3rd LHR runway.
2.8% of UK people are ultra-frequent flyers, 6+ flights/year,

Schön war's @inderwirtschaft.bsky.social in Chemnitz. Danke an Rudi und Felix für die spannende Diskussion! Wir haben u.a. darüber gesprochen, warum ungezielte Steuersenkungen für Unternehmen und gleichzeitige Verschärfungen beim Bürgergeld unsere Konjunktur wahrscheinlich nicht beleben werden.
