Median Inflation: A Central-Bank Measurement Desk
A focused site tracking trimmed-mean and median inflation measures, with data, readings, FAQs, and expert commentary for central-bank-minded readers.
Field notes
The site compares headline CPI and PCE with median and other alternative inflation measures, using annualized rates and distributional effects to explain why the readings diverge. Its July discussion attributes a 2.2-percentage-point annualized reduction in CPI to negative skewness relative to the Median CPI increase, and separately reports 1.9 percent annualized PCE inflation. Posts, readings, FAQs, and data links suggest an ongoing research and commentary archive.
