The surge in imports is not the main reason for the recent decline in GDP. The principal cause was a contraction in government spending.
An narrow focus on trade will miss the true magnitude of the incoming recession.

Das Review of Political Economy hat einen Artikel von Randall Wray (@LevyEcon) und mir zu MMT/Euro veröffentlicht. Wir antworten auf den Postkeynesianer Marc Lavoie. Spoiler: Das fiskalische Regelwerk der Eurozone war und ist nicht „fit for purpose“.

As we pointed out in a recent working paper, there is an important macroeconomic story behind the scenes. When firms pass-through cost shocks with constant or increasing markups, they redistribute income from workers to capitalists x.com/SimonGrothe/... 6/20
Simon Grothe on X: "During recent wage negotiations workers were often told to moderate their demands to not spur inflation. In a new @LevyEcon working paper, @mnikiforos and I argue that nominal wage growth can have positive macroeconomic effects even when leading to higher inflation. 🧵 1/14 https://t.co/fKuKpAPadB" / X

Bloomberg gets our report hilariously wrong (it has nothing to do with CPI, btw):
#LevyEcon #HouseholdProduction
Women’s Household Work to Be Added to US CPI Consumption Survey
Surveys that provide key information for consumer-spending measures may soon reflect household work that is overwhelmingly done by women.
