Federal Reserve Researchers Find Oil Shocks Pose Greater Inflation Risk
What happened
Federal Reserve Board researchers modeled advanced economies and studied US inflation dynamics. The note found that the inflation process changed since the pandemic in two ways: core inflation became more inertial, and the pass-through from oil prices to core inflation rose to a statistically and economically significant level. The study used a panel of five major advanced economies, including the United States, Canada, the euro area, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

Why it matters
The findings suggest that supply shocks, such as increases in oil prices, pose a more dangerous threat to price stability than they did before the pandemic. This research updates earlier findings that documented core inflation becoming more inertial after the pandemic.
