50 分钟Welcome to Macro musings, where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past, present and future.
I am your host, David Beckwourth, a senior research fellow at the Mercator center at George Mason University.
And I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Carla Binder.
Carla is an associate professor of civic leadership and economics at the University of Texas at Austin.
Kerala is also the author of a new book titled Shock Prices and inflation in American democracy.
Carla joins us today to discuss her new book and some recent work she has done on the Fed's framework review.
It's great to have you on.
And last time you were on Carla, you actually had the other side of the hot seat.
You were interviewing me, and Pat ran on our paper the fate of faith.
So that was a lot of fun.
And you also are a colleague of mine of sorts.
You are a senior affiliated scholar at the Mercatus center, and you visited us for a while during sabbatical.
But it's great to be talking to you again with the release of your new book.
Very exciting.
So, Carla, last time we were together, you also were in Pennsylvania.
Now you're in Texas.
You're at UT Austin.
So congratulations on that move.
Very exciting.
