They are sensitive to economic activity, so when logistics services are not delivering, when families are staying home, and when the wheels of industry are not turning, fuel prices fall (as they did in 2008).<br /><br />However, in the bigger picture fuel prices go up more often than they go down, and if you want to compare your experience at the pump with 10 years ago, or 20 years ago, it's pretty easy to see beyond the volatility.<br /><br />The cracker for Krugman is that he is perfectly happy for FOOD to be excluded from "core inflation" whilst food prices are kept non-volatile by a whole host of mechanisms, and food prices are steadily rising too (a bit faster than "core inflation" from what I can tell). If Krugman can explain why CPI excludes food then I'll start to believe he is on the level.Telhttp://lnx-bsp.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-61004068252948688472010-12-29T15:00:50.581-05:002010-12-29T15:00:50.581-05:00Wouldn't the price of scarce metals stated in ...Wouldn't the price of scarce metals stated in the form of scarce gold and silver money tend to not rise as opposed to prices for such metals stated in constantly diluted funny money?Bob Roddisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-14039043272674517212010-12-28T10:36:52.946-05:002010-12-28T10:36:52.946-05:00As I understand it, since one commodity (or even g...As I understand it, since one commodity (or even group of commodities) would account for only part of the CPI calculation, the CPI will <i>by definition</i> smooth out the commodity curve once thousands of other products are factored in.<br /><br />But interesting to note, if you shrunk the Y-axis for the blue line by a factor of 20, those two charts would trend in the same direction quite nicely.<br /><br />Not sure how this fits into the whole of economic theory but I can spot a meaningless graph from a mile away.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761394148395414349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-77808583937551962642010-12-28T10:28:02.263-05:002010-12-28T10:28:02.263-05:00Krugman puts up charts with intentionally goofy ax...Krugman puts up charts with intentionally goofy axes and time periods to obfuscate the point.
