What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ben Bernanke recounted research presented to the Federal Reserve in December 1996 by John Campbell and Robert Shiller, who argued that stocks were overvalued. This discussion took place while Alan Greenspan raised concerns about “irrational exuberance”. The reports also noted that annual-average U.S. consumer price inflation declined from 13.5% in 1980 to 3.2% in 1983.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Inflation trends influence the Federal Reserve's rate decisions, which are guided by economic indicators provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The historical record shows that as inflation fell, the Federal Reserve pursued policies that led to rising unemployment.
