The full data sets for the 56 years from 1966 to 2022 show no discernable association patterns (correlations) for U.S. federal deficit spending growth and inflation changes.1 This post continues that analysis by looking specifically at the various regimes of inflation change during the 56-year timeline.

We have found that the correlation relationships between various types of credit and inflation are variable over time. So far, the kinds of credit studied are government spending,1 consumer credit,2 mortgage debt,3 nonfinancial corporate credit,4 and financial sector debt.5 Here, we return to federal deficit spending and inflation by analyzing data organized differently than previously used.

This article concludes the analysis of the correlation patterns between Financial Sector Debt (FSD) and Consumer Inflation (CPI). The last of the three types of inflation patterns (time periods with no significant inflation trends) is the subject of analysis here. The other two types of patterns (inflation surges1 and disinflation/deflation surges2) were analyzed previously. The conclusion discusses the correlation patterns for all time periods, looks for any common threads, and identifies important differences across time periods and types of correlation patterns.

EconCurrent‘s Economic Index again modestly improved and is slightly in positive territory. This does not mean the economy is going gangbusters but is continuing to plod along. There remain three major indicators that suggest a recession is coming. Read on to understand the currents affecting our economic growth.
The full data sets for the 71 years from 1952 to 2022 show no discernable association patterns (correlations) for financial sector debt (FSD) and inflation changes.1 Thus, we started an analysis by looking specifically at the various regimes of inflation change during the 71-year timeline. The most recent post2 analyzed the eight time periods over 71 years with positive inflation surges. This article analyzes the association of FSD during the five periods from 1952 to 2022 with negative inflation (disinflation/deflation) surges.

We have found that the correlation relationships between various types of credit and inflation are variable over time. So far, the kinds of credit studied are government spending,1 consumer credit,2 mortgage debt,3 and nonfinancial corporate credit.4 Here, we address another category of credit spending, Financial Sector Debt (FSD). This series studies the correlation between changes in Financial Sector Debt and CPI inflation.

This article concludes the analysis of the correlation patterns between Nonfinancial Corporate Credit (NFC) and Consumer Inflation (CPI). The last of the three types of inflation patterns (time periods with no significant inflation trends) is the subject of analysis here. The other two types of patterns (inflation surges1 and disinflation/deflation surges2) were analyzed previously. The conclusion discusses the correlation patterns for all time periods, looks for any common threads, and identifies important differences across time periods and types of correlation patterns.

EconCurrent‘s Economic Index modestly improved but continues insignificantly in negative territory. We continue to forecast that a recession is not imminent. One indicator (Conference Board Leading Economic Index) is no longer signaling a recession, but there remain three other major indicators that are. Read on to understand the currents affecting our economic growth.
