5 Blanchflower and Posen (op.cit.) argue that a rate of wage inflation should be adopted by the Fed as an intermediate target, ‘paralleling on the real activity side the de facto inflation targets on the price stability side’.

6 Quarterly growth in the third quarter was 1.9 per cent (7.8 per cent annualised), marginally lower than in the second quarter but slightly higher than in the first quarter of this year and in three of the four quarters of 2013.
