BOE: Pill on real income resistances
May-20 08:43
Pill is now starting the Q&A.
He went off script a bit on the welfare losses based on real income resistances (based on policymakers' beliefs vs true levels) and went into quite a bit more detail than the prepared text discusses.
He argues that there are two-sided risks to assuming real income resistance is either too high or too low. And that there is no general result to be either too worried or not worried enough about intrinsic inflation.
