On Thursday, December 15, 2022, Roosevelt Institute hosted a webinar to discuss our latest report, The Causes of and Responses to Today’s Inflation, by Joseph Stiglitz and Ira Regmi. In their research, they found that today’s inflation is largely being driven by supply shocks and sectoral demand shifts, not by excess aggregate demand.
Following the presentation of their findings, Roosevelt President and CEO Felicia Wong facilitated a conversation about whether the media analysis of inflation has gotten too far away from the data and what kinds of supply-side interventions could actually help combat inflation.
