1. It's my birthday today and I only want one thing.

I want these two women, Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, to be famous.

Niloofar and Elahe are Iranian reporters who reported on the death of Mahsa Zhina Amini.

They are now in prison and could face the death penalty.

Why didn't most economists expect such high inflation and how will they address this in future research? I asked Emi Nakamura and @JonSteinsson, who direct the @nberpubs monetary economics program. I quote them in today's @WSJecon newsletter. Their answers in full below.

The 2022 election result was stunning, and while it is true that there was a realignment at the electorate level, claims that the Coalition represents poorer voters and Labor 'elites' is massively exaggerated
