Der Begriff könnte falscher nicht sein. Studien zeigen, dass Verkäufer einen Beitrag zum Rückgang der Inflation leisten. #Produzenteninflation @allianztrade @Ludovic_Subran
Steigende Preise sind keine Naturkatastrophe. Wir sprechen nicht ohne Grund von Verkäuferinflation. Schocks können Unternehmen Gelegenheit für Preissteigerungen geben. Wenn das bei Lebensmitteln passiert, sind Verbraucher ausgeliefert.

Important warning that the list may be subject to change and maybe ChatGPT is not even aware of the most recent OECD accessions. If the list is in alphabetical order, it does not include Costa Rica (joined in 2021) or Colombia (joined in 2020).

Extremely insightful thread by @ChadBown on US-China trade. A must read.
US imports of some Chinese products have tanked. Others are higher than ever. How Trump’s selective use of tariffs continues to matter for the question about US-China decoupling. My new look at the data 1/ 🧵 piie.com/blogs/realtime-econ…
