We discuss the timing and strength of the Fed's reaction to the recent inflation surge within an estimated macroeconomic model where long-run inflation expectations are heterogeneous and can lose their anchoring to the target. The resulting inflation scare worsens the real cost of disinflation....

This paper uses a new survey approach to empirically characterize firm-level passthrough dynamics and explores them in a price-setting model. We directly elicit price pass-through of cost shocks in the field and survey experiments. We find gradual pass-through due to infrequent adjustments...
