Investors have their rally caps on for year end, and we’re doing it with speculation. With a good inflation report and strong growth, it seems to be the perfect elixir for Wall Street.

With the rising cost of food, either the portions get smaller, or the quality gets inferior. So, for example, pizza that used to taste like cardboard now tastes like carpet. Unvacuumed carpet, because I asked...

The ECB will want to signal that it doesn’t want to see the headline inflation rate translate through into higher wage settlements next year.

The dollar is stronger because of higher rates. Look at the bond market: it’s been selling off with higher inflation fears and decent growth prospects. Also U.S. data were not so bad.

Lowering inflation to 3-4% annually should be a priority, a major instrument of economic policy, and we have the means to lower inflation to this level.

It’s hard to build models of inflation that don’t lead to a multiverse. It’s not impossible, so I think there’s still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead...

A tax dollar paid today is far more expensive than one paid in future dollars. With inflation, money becomes less valuable over time because of the cost of goods increases.

It’s reasonable for investors to be concerned with inflation, given six months ago we were talking about deflation. What we’re seeing is the purchasing managers are telling us that the costs of some materials are...

It will probably be a long way off before we get to a 2 percent inflation rate, meaning the BOJ is not going do any imminent rate increases. That will keep the rate-differential theme and...

The practical implication of this environment is that young Canadians must start saving very early in their lives, compared to previous generations in order to realize the same inflation-adjusted return on their savings. Our findings...

It’s a sweet-spot theory. We have economic growth that’s very robust, but at the same time it’s not strong enough to raise concerns about inflation.

Social progress: for the same price as last year, I get a slimmer candy bar, less chips per bag, and I have to walk a little further to work, because to spend the same amount...
