Thrilled to have @BasilHalperin join the podcast. Three big points discussed: (1) AI could supercharge growth, but bond markets aren’t buying the hype as evidence by real interest rates; (2) inflation targeting not an optimal response to AI supercharged growth... (1/2)
1/ New with @serdarozkanEN: using the St. Louis Fed DSGE model, we ask whether expectations of future AI-driven productivity gains can raise inflation today. We argue that they can, and that the Fed's response matters a lot.

What happened since Wednesday in the US repo money markets? Why did banks have to borrow $15.1bn from the Fed's recent lending facility? Could we see this coming? What does it imply for QT?

Waller emerges as favorite to replace Powell.

If you read the word “manufacturing” to stand for accessible middle class jobs (with rising real wages), these results make a lot more sense. The bigger issue is how many people believe manufacturing jobs are the solution to stagnant income growth.

• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory
