    The Inflation Brief | May 2026

    In this episode of The Inflation Brief from ECON-versations with NABE, hosts Greg Daco and Laura Rosner-Warburton break down the latest inflation data and the forces continuing to shape the price outlook across the U.S. economy. The conversation examines the lingering effects of the ongoing oil shock, with energy prices accounting for a significant share of recent CPI increases, alongside rising food and transportation costs. Greg and Laura explore how tariffs are still filtering through different sectors of the economy—from motor vehicles to household furnishings—and discuss why some inflation pressures may be fading while new ones continue to emerge. They also dive into the growing impact of the AI investment boom on producer prices, including bottlenecks in semiconductors, memory, and data storage, and what those supply-side strains could mean for inflation going forward. The discussion further touches on shelter inflation measurement challenges tied to the government shutdown, as well as the increasingly difficult balancing act facing the Federal Reserve amid persistent inflation and slowing real wage growth. Tune in for an insightful conversation on the evolving drivers of inflation, the risks of overlapping supply shocks, and what today’s data could signal for monetary policy and the broader economic outlook.

    The Labor Brief | May 2026

    In this episode of The Labor Brief, hosts Ellen Zentner and Julia Coronado unpack the April employment report and what it reveals about the evolving state of the U.S. labor market. They explore the surprisingly broad-based hiring gains, the divergence between payroll and household survey data, and why economists are paying close attention to potential revisions and labor force participation trends. The conversation also dives into the growing challenges facing economic measurement, including recent Bureau of Labor Statistics efforts to address missing data and methodological questions raised during the government shutdown. Ellen and Julia discuss how economists are interpreting these signals amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, rising energy costs, and concerns about consumer purchasing power. Plus, they examine the widening divide in economic sentiment across income groups, why inflation is hitting households differently, and what current wage growth trends could mean for hiring and spending in the months ahead.

    Longer-Term Outlook for U.S. Trade Policy: Are Higher Tariffs the New Normal or a Short-Run Interlude?

    This episode features a replay of a live webinar held on April 9, examining the future of U.S. trade policy amid a significant escalation in tariffs under President Trump. In this timely discussion, panelists explore whether the recent shift toward a more expansive tariff regime—raising duties to levels not seen in decades and broadening the range of affected goods—signals a lasting transformation in U.S. trade policy or a temporary departure that may not endure beyond Trump’s tenure. The conversation also highlights which industries are most exposed to these changes and the potential economic ripple effects. Featuring Chad Bown (Peterson Institute for International Economics), Kari Heerman (Brookings Institution), and Scott Lincicome (Cato Institute), and moderated by Ed Kean, this episode offers a thoughtful, policy-focused look at one of the most consequential trade developments shaping the U.S. and global economy.NABE is the premier professional association for business economists and others who use economics in the workplace.

    Geoeconomic Shockwaves: The Iran War and Global Energy Markets

    This episode features a replay of a live webinar held on April 8, presented by the NABE Energy Roundtable, examining the economic implications of the evolving conflict in the Middle East—particularly the war involving Iran. As geopolitical tensions intensify, disruptions to critical supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz have driven sharp increases in oil prices and heightened volatility across global markets. In this timely discussion, panelists explore the outlook for oil supply and prices, how energy shocks are feeding into inflation, and the broader implications for monetary policy, financial markets, and global growth. Featuring Thomas Nichols (Moody’s) and Kenneth Medlock (Rice University), and moderated by Kunal Patel (Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas), this conversation offers a data-driven look at how geopolitical developments are reshaping the global economic landscape—and what risks and scenarios may lie ahead.

    The Labor Brief | April 2026

    In this episode of The Labor Brief, Julia Coronado is joined by guest co-host Nela Richardson, NABE Vice President and Chief Economist at ADP, to break down the latest employment data, comparing ADP’s monthly report with the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ official release. While both point to steady job growth, the conversation highlights growing volatility beneath the surface and questions about how much hiring is truly needed to keep unemployment stable. Looking beyond the headlines, Julia and Nela explore how demographic forces—particularly an aging population—are reshaping labor supply in ways more significant than AI or cyclical demand shifts. From declining participation among older workers to persistent shortages in manufacturing and other hourly roles, employers are struggling to fill positions despite continued job availability. The episode underscores a fundamental tension in today’s economy: jobs exist, but fewer workers are willing—or able—to take them, pointing to a structural transformation in the U.S. labor market.NABE is the premier professional association for business economists and others who use economics in the workplace.

    The Inflation Brief | March 2026

    On this episode of The Inflation Brief from ECON-versations with NABE, hosts Greg Daco and Laura Rosner-Warburton break down the February CPI report and what it signals about the path of inflation. While headline and core readings appeared relatively steady, the data revealed a more complicated story beneath the surface. Greg and Laura examine the diverging trends across goods and services, including modest increases in apparel and recreation goods—potentially reflecting tariff pass-through—alongside continued disinflation in shelter costs and persistent strength in leisure-related services. The conversation also explores the growing gap between CPI and PCE inflation, rising medical care prices, and the potential inflationary impact of a sharp increase in gasoline prices amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. With oil prices surging and energy costs likely to push headline inflation higher in the coming months, Greg and Laura discuss whether a new supply shock could complicate the Federal Reserve’s path toward rate cuts. As uncertainty builds across markets and global events unfold, the hosts assess what the latest data may mean for inflation dynamics and monetary policy in the months ahead.NABE is the premier professional association for business economists and others who use economics in the workplace.
