• On the Wedge Between the PPI and CPI Inflation Indicators

  Staff Working Paper 2022-5 Shang-Jin Wei, Yinxi Xie

  We find that the CPI and PPI inflation indexes co-moved strongly throughout the late 20th century, but their correlation has fallen substantially since the early 2000s. We offer a structural explanation for this divergence based on the growth of global supply chains since 2000. This finding offers a unique perspective for the future design of optimal monetary policy.
