This is quite surprising to me. Changes in salient prices and underlying inflation would explain little of the 2025 U.S. inflation expectations surge, leaving 7.5 p.points unexplained (grey part) at the 8 p.point peak. Does anyone know any work on that?

Took BlaBlaCar again yesterday after years (great company). As often, when I mention I work on central banks, the first question is about money creation—essentially, why it’s not a magic fix for government budget constraints. Small sample, but I got the same question on my last BlaBlaCar 4 years ago

Survey invitations often describe the topic of the survey. A simple, classic example of how this biases results: survey recruitment materials about bird watching led to higher estimates of the % of people who engage in bird-watching. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Social scientists take note: asking the right question is crucial to getting the important answer. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com has a banger of an analysis in today’s FT, and the right question is about media fragmentation and how we go about getting shared information. It’s not about misinformation.
The misinformation discourse is a distraction
Media fragmentation and the erosion of shared sources of truth are bigger threats

Understanding causality vs. correlation is genuinely hard especially on complex topics like inflation. Our research finds that 60% of Americans think high interest rates cause high inflation & support rate cuts to fight it. But high rates usually respond to inflation,not cause it
