Free FreeDuring the last two years, inflation has re-emerged in the developed world together with concerns about it being persistent.
Previous inflationary episodes have taught us a lot on what causes inflation and what can be done to reduce it. But the world has changed and previous insights may no longer be valid. Iván Werning will discuss how old insights extended with new frameworks can be used to shed light on the recent surge in inflation.
