The Wall Street Journal report on a paper from a "former top Fed staffer".

  • Federal Reserve officials have time before they need to agree on what constitutes a neutral level for monetary policy
  • but neutral may well be a lot higher than central bankers currently expect
  • officials appear to see something around 2.5% as neutral, inflation expectations data suggests neutral could be much higher, like 5% if the data is accurate.
