A new study shows that federal spending was the cause of a 2022 spike in inflation.

Federal spending was two to three times more important than any other factor causing inflation during 2022 .

The researchers arrived at their conclusion by using the Mahalanobis distance statistic, which has been used in a range of projects.

“The way you should be managing your assets is not to just find the portfolio that’s optimal on average across all periods, but to the extent you can detect regime shifts — i.e., stable inflation to rising steady — you can come up with portfolios that are more tailored to these different regimes,” he said. William Kinlaw , Michael Metcalfe , and David Turkington , all of State Street , are Kritzman ’s co-authors on the paper. They hope to update the research in the future to account for the current state of inflation..
