tfw you are proud of the cheap, used globe you got your kid, that they love, and you get it home and note Russia is the “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.”

It’s an excellent paper, fun to read too (for an economics paper).

I also got the Latex editor in Substack to work, which is pretty neat.

New post: a dive into inflation equations, and whether they can help us figure out why inflation has fallen without unemployment going up. It’s cause to celebrate, but we shouldn’t let that relief make us stop asking questions. 📈📉 https://mikekonczal.substack.com/p/inflation-came-down-and-everyone

Inflation has been falling over the past year, yet, inconsistent with 'mainstream macro,' unemployment has not increased. What are some of the reasons this could happen?

This, to me, is the story of the recovery. Here's actual employment and labor force participation versus CBO projections from before the American Rescue Plan and before covid. We're actually beating out the *non-covid* scenario as inflation falls. That's the labor market Big Fiscal can produce. 📉📈
