Hi Joey, thanks for that great article as usual. I just have a question regarding the following sentence: "Since tightening monetary policy primarily constrains inflation by slowing the pace of service price growth". Do you have any studies evidence for that?
Hi Efe! Sorry for the confusion, I should have linked something there. Here's a good post from Duncan Weldon on the topic and a primer from Employ America. Both these pieces link to more studies that should also help answer your question.
