Inflation affects everyone by reducing purchasing power, increasing costs for materials and labor, and triggering interest rate increases that threaten full employment and impede long-term investment and growth. Rather than accepting the conventional view that fighting inflation requires sacrificing jobs, we identify the root causes of price increases - whether in energy, housing, or supply chains - and design precise policy solutions to mitigate inflationary pressures as alternatives to broad interest rate hikes.
We identify exactly which goods and services are driving price increases - and why - allowing us to design targeted responses that combat rising prices without sacrificing employment gains.
A significant portion of GDP and a major component of personal consumer expenditures, healthcare has outsized impacts on both inflation and the labor market.
Supply chain disruptions, capacity constraints, and logistical chokepoints can amplify price pressures and stall economic activity. We pinpoint where and why these breakdowns occur—whether in manufacturing, transportation, or critical inputs.
