For release on delivery 11:15 a.m. EST (10:15 a.m. CST) January 6, 2023  Thoughts on Inflation in a Supply-Constrained Economy  Remarks by Lisa D. Cook Member Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at the 2023 Allied Social Science Associations (ASSA) Annual Meeting New Orleans, Louisiana  January 6, 2023  I am particularly pleased to be here today for multiple reasons.
I think most of us feel some nostalgic pull to these meetings, though I do not think I want to revisit the frantic interview cycle ever again. These meetings allow us to meet and reconnect with colleagues, hear about new and valuable research, and have in-depth discussions on the subtler, more nuanced aspects of economics.
