Jason Schachter @uscensusbureau described challenges with international migration data and how #COVID altered the way it is calculated. He finds that data integration will become important to international migration stats as reliance on non-traditional data sources increases.

Baoline Chen of @BEA_News asks, "can #nowcasting techniques be a tool in reducing revisions in personal consumption expenditure services (PCES) in the U.S.?" Her research shows they did improve accuracy, and accuracy was further improved by using high frequency credit card data.

The discussion of the @IMFNews WEO chapter on #inflation was so much fun to do. If you missed the @IIEPGW event on the October 2021 WEO, check out the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=ogqb4I0G…
I'm getting ready to discuss the @IMFNews WEO chapter on #inflation this morning and the job of central bankers just keeps getting tougher! How to communicate clearly on inflation? I'm finding that just keeping a discussion under 10 min means leaving out so much!
