Lucas Herrenbrueck interviewed on inflation concerns in post-COVID economy
Associate professor Lucas Herrenbrueck was recently quoted in a Business in Vancouver article examining the rise of inflation as the economy recovers from the pandemic.
According to Herrenbrueck, "Inflation conjures up negative connotations for many people, but low levels of it are often a sign of economic growth".
“Inflation, being a little bit higher as we are recovering from the pandemic is just normal. It’s just not something to react to; it’s like seeing it rain in Vancouver."
Herrenbrueck's research interests include macroeconomics, monetary economics, and economic theory. Earlier this year, he published a paper in the Journal of Mathematical Economics examining how a pandemic-induced recession can actually boost asset prices.
