@TennisTV : Do you really think THIS is a "no spoiler" setting? 😬(welcome stream at entry!!!)
Exactly - it is the price level that matters. Statements like “inflation is over”, don’t make sense to most, when butter is up x%. A side benefit will be the utter irrelevance of trying to determine the appropriate lags, weights and stuff when evaluating inflation news. 😀
I think framing make up policy in terms of the price level is precisely what is needed. People are upset that a burger costs more than it used to. A price level target commits to getting that burger price back where it was. Everyone can understand this.

Jeg indser, at jeg har været mere privilegeret i min profession, end jeg hidtil, med dyb taknemmelighed, har sat pris på. I min tid, som ikke er så voldsomt længe siden, var viden og uddannelse generelt anerkendt som værdifuldt. Det antog jeg fejlagtigt var normalt. #dkpol

You don't hear very often this kind of reflections on economics' methodology. So interesting to hear Tom Sargent talking about Lucas' approach to macro (today at NYU)

Cleaning up my office and and digging out this classic (reissue). It is still astonishing that that the main figures are fold-outs. The period is 1867-1960, which one should bear in mind when students claim that there exists no data before the 1990s.
