Inflation debates are often louder than they are precise.

This board collects research, data releases, and commentary aimed at understanding what’s actually driving price changes—and what isn’t. I focus on measurement issues, sectoral dynamics, expectations, and the interaction between supply shocks, labor markets, and policy.

I’m less interested in single explanations than in how forces combine: housing and services versus goods, wages versus margins, short-term shocks versus longer-run persistence. Inflation is not one thing, and treating it as such leads to poor analysis and worse policy.

The throughline here is humility with rigor. Inflation is hard to measure, slow to interpret, and easy to politicize. The goal is to stay grounded in evidence while acknowledging uncertainty.
