About Us

The Goal of the Center

The Center seeks to be a leading resource for “all things inflation.” It offers a combination of research, analyses and data, background and commentary, and an annual conference series dedicated to inflation. The information and research we provide is intended for readers whose interests range from staying informed about inflation developments to learning about recent theoretical and empirical work analyzing the inflation process.

To read about our activities and accomplishments in 2019, read our annual report synopsis.
