The increase in uncertainty and asset volatility can propagate to the real economy, amplifying the direct effects of policies on productivity. "Heterogeneous Beliefs, Asset Prices, and Business Cycles" with @DejanirSilva & @duduzil, may be useful to understand how. 🧵 Thread 👇

Thought about wearing this to the conference this morning, but I guess some would be offended. 😬

No @valoreconomico de hoje, eu e Victor Rezende conversamos com o @duduzil, que assumiu há alguns meses como economista-chefe na Gávea. Clica no link para entender o que é essa "tempestade perfeita" ruim para o Brasil de que ele fala... valor.globo.com/brasil/notic…

As recently emphasized by @JohnHCochrane, high interest rates lower inflation in the textbook model only if there is a fiscal tightening. Monetary policy needs a fiscal backing. But how does the fiscal backing implicit in our models compare with the one in the data? 1/6

Nos EUA, parece que as distorções na cesta de consumo, por conta da Covid, passaram a ir na direção de sobre-estimar a inflação relevante para os consumidores. cc: @cardosoflm
An important thing to note about US inflation: the lack of adjustment in the official CPI basket weights is still having an impact. But this time the bias is going in the opposite direction (too much inflation). What is going on?

Achei q este dia nunca fosse chegar, mas aqui estou divulgando um RCT. Tratamento: informar q a razão dívida/PIB é alta. Resultado: tratados reduzem demandas por gastos públicos. Não deve, mas vai q tem validade externa. No Brasil, dívida/PIB é cerca de 90% (e em expansão).

In this issue of Econometrica: "Long-Term Contracting with Time-Inconsistent Agents" with @xingtanzhang We look at an old question: How do firms contract with present-biased consumers who underestimate their bias? We give some new answers and a way to think about inefficiency.

In this op-ed,@nfergus quotes Friedman's famous dictum, asserts that "inflation is often and in many places a fiscal phenomenon", quotes Sargent 2x. This reminded me Sargent's not-so-famous versions. "Persistent (high) inflation is always and everywhere a fiscal phenomenon." (+)
“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” Milton Friedman's monetarist credo wasn't quite the whole truth: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

This might explain why Sargent's great dictum is not that well-known googlewise. But do not let the Brazilian context ruin it! After all, "persistent (high) inflation is always and everywhere a fiscal phenomenon." (+)

The two "essays in persuasion" can also be found in the book "Rational Expectations and Inflation", by Thomas Sargent.
