“Models are predicting what’s normal in a world that isn’t normal,” says Erica Groshen, senior labor market advisor. 

The radical changes in our economy that are required for reaching low climate goals have not been achieved,” says Natalie Mahowald, professor in engineering. “Unfortunately, what we are seeing today is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what we will see unless substantial reductions in emissions are made and quickly.” 

“There are some people at Treasury, all the way to the top, that have a very strong analytical bent and recognize there is something to the notion that the lack of contestability in certain markets has driven up prices, but also think that it’s hard to imagine that’s a significant factor in the current surge,” says Eswar Prasad, professor of economics and international trade policy.
