Abstract: “Starting in mid-2021, as inflation started to rise globally, many central banks went through similar sequences of responses. First they looked through the shocks in the sense of not reacting to rising inflation. This inert response was typically defended by pointing to the supply-side origins of the inflation as well as the likelihood that high inflation would prove to be temporary. However, when inflation shocks kept materializing, central banks pivoted to a much more aggressive policy stance. Policymakers then spent considerable effort defending the pivot as being necessary to anchor expectations in order to avoid igniting a wage-price spiral.” Beaudry, Carter, and Lahiri (2022)
