JPMorgan, State Street leave major investor climate group
January 15, 2024--The investment divisions of JPMorgan Chase and State Street are leaving a climate-friendly investment initiative, sparking cheers from Republicans.
A spokesperson for the group, Climate Action 100+, confirmed via email that "JP Morgan Asset Management and State Street Global Advisors have left the initiative."
The spokesperson also said BlackRock transferred its participation from its U.S. division to BlackRock International.
The changes come after the group last summer announced its next phase that would call on participants to "move from words to action" by "taking action to actively reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain."

IMF Working Paper-U.S. Inflation Expectations During the Pandemic
February 9, 2024--Summary:
This paper studies how and why inflation expectations have changed since the emergence of Covid-19. Using micro-level data from the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers, we show that the distribution of consumer expectations at one-year and five-ten year horizons has widened since the surge of inflation during 2021, along with the mean. Persistently high and heterogeneous expectations of consumers with less education and lower income are mainly responsible.
A simple model of adaptive learning is able to mimic the change in inflation expectations over time for different demographic groups.
The inflation expectations of low income and female consumers are consistent with using less complex forecasting models and are more backward-looking. A medium-scale DSGE model with adaptive learning, estimated during 1965-2022, has a time-varying solution that produces lower forecast errors for inflation than a variant with rational expectations. The estimated model interprets the surge of inflation in 2021 mainly as the result of a price markup shock, which is more persistent and requires a larger and more persistent monetary policy response than under rational expectations.
