10 year ago, Oli Coibion ( @empctmacrotx.bsky.social ) and I had a paper in AEJ Macro about inflation expectations in the U.S. (www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...). We found that oil/gasoline prices strongly predict inflation expectations. This "iron law" continues to hold.

Interesting note by Krugman. But is it true that fast growing economies typically attract capital inflows and run trade deficits? A 🧵 on a recent literature challenging this notion, and on why China's trade surpluses could be a problem for global productivity growth.
