In a working paper using the Survey of Consumer Expectations, Atlanta Fed research economist David Wiczer, Gizem Kosar and Davide Melcangi of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Laura Pilossoph of Duke University and CESifo show that households with more #debt or lower net wealth are likelier to use additional income to repay debt. By paying down debt, these households save on debt service payments, seeing a larger overall gain. https://atlfed.org/3Y9ZDqO

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute’s 2024 Institute Research conference, where I gave remarks and participated in a Q&A with Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis president and CEO Neel Kashkari. The conference features frontier research to enhance economic opportunity and inclusive growth, which I think is wonderful. In my remarks, I reiterated that I’ve long had the view that evidence-based research is essential to effective policy. We need sound research to undergird policy that seeks to reduce and eliminate barriers to economic opportunity, because the best ways to address economic disparities are still not well understood. I’d like to commend the Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute for the work they are doing and thank Neel and the Minneapolis Fed for inviting me. I would also like to recognize Atlanta Fed economists David Wiczer and Veronika Penciakova for each presenting insightful research at the conference.

In this working paper, economists from the Atlanta Fed, Federal Reserve Board, New York University, and the National Bureau of Economic Research show that standard menu cost models cannot simultaneously reproduce the dispersion in the size of micro-price changes and the extent to which the fraction of price changes increases with inflation in the US time-series. https://atlfed.org/4eqeZND Authors: Andrés Blanco, Corina Boar, Callum Jones, Virgiliu Midrigan

Yesterday, I participated in the evening keynote for the Atlanta Fed’s Technology-Enabled Disruption conference, featuring Reserve Bank presidents Susan M. Collins and Tom Barkin. The keynote, moderated by opinion columnist Catherine Rampell from The Washington Post, included discussion of productivity and whether we expect to see consequences of today’s technological advancements, specifically within the labor market. Rather than buying into the notion that there is a marked separation between jobs and technology, I said I believe there is a continuum, where companies that deploy new technologies also work to transition and place jobs within those technologies. When I ask businesses whether new innovations have caused increases or decreases in their total workforce, most say it has remained the same but that the nature of those jobs is qualitatively different. So, the nature of work is evolving, but the amount of work does not decrease; you can use technology to do more, but it requires a different set of things from your human capital. I believe this is the standard technological innovation story. At the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, we’re thinking a lot about workforce development and ways in which we can create an institutional structure to facilitate faster transitions into new skill acquisition so that we minimize the type of lags that can be a risk.
