we do a lot of stuff with academic debates after student -- with the students at the university of michigannd there is a lot of overlap. the same criteria the -- criteria i would use -- do they come in prepared? if they got a question that they were not ready for, how do they answer it off the top of their head with critical thinking? the same criteria in the academic space we use for political ones and the reason why the debates are so popular because they are a great job interview for the president of the united states, commander in chief and people want to see how other candidates prepare. if there is an emergency phone call, operating in this environment with skilled speakers that are smart will show them what it is like so it is a great test ground on how they would operate with important situations. host: it is always the conversation about who won the debate. what are your thoughts on that and if that is even the right question? guest: that kind of horse race mate -- mentality in posix has become more popular. it has to be asked. since trump chose not to participate, somewhat will ha

jaonne hsu is from the university of michigan. what is the instant analysis? ultimately this month, the consumers are not seeing a whole lot of material differences in the economic outlook relative to last month and we see that in the fact that the sentiment is unchanged after dramatic improvements. consumers do have a passive outlook on inflation. -- a positive outlook on inflation. the numbers came down a little bit. i think that consumers are not expecting inflation to pop up again but they expected to continue to slow down. in terms of the 5-10 year, it's been in the same place for the last 10 years. it's great news it didn't go up but it's essentially unchanged. kriti: is this indicative of the trend we will see or a fluke in the numbers because when you look at the other economic data, you are seeing this divergence. even if we are getting the consumer data, more consumers are feeling it. what are your thoughts? >> they are definitely feeling inflation slowing down and we see that in the number of places in the survey, not just in the expectation when we

behavior and health education and co director of the national center for school safety at the university of michigan. welcome to the day. what do you make of the text and approach to school safety? yeah, we work with schools around the united states and i feel like this is a common reaction to school shooting is using it is real investment in physical security, which i think intuitively is going to make all these aver, but at least from a research perspective, to show perspective, there isn't a lot of data to support target hard name or physical security strategies as a way to prevent school shootings. so i think these mitigation efforts while they could be effective. uh, we just don't know what we can say with a fair amount of certainty is the student at the end of the video, mention the speech students. notice when there are physical security marks, they noticed when there are cameras or metal detectors or arm security professionals. and that creates an environment that i'm not sure is conducive to learning. yeah. what does that do to young people to live in constant fear of becoming a victim of g

wish i had that look into the future clearly, but the one thing, and you heard it from the university of michigan to my coming on the show is that consumer sentiment is high, leisure travel is something that people will not give up, even in the pandemic. it was the first aspect of travel to return. to the extent that demand stays high, it is basic economic that airfares, i would prescribe, are going to stay higher than they were pre-pandemic. alix: but to that point, i wonder how bifurcated things are getting? anecdotally, my husband and i were looking at montana for the holiday in february. already sold out. that's obviously more of a high-end, right? are we seeing more of a bifurcated travel, or no? >> >> what we've seen in the first half of 2023 has definitely just some increased pressure on the lower end consumer. the type of travel and just the overall spend of that consumer. and it is not only in the travel space. you see that across credit cards and overall retail spending. although there is some bifurcation, this is typically what happens, the first consumer to feel pressure is the lower

university of michigan study, they studied 30,000 adults over the age of 50 for a period of ten yearswhat do you think of their findings? >> i'm impressed with their findings, bill. what they did that no one else has done before is looked specifically at smoke from wildfires, particulate matter 2.5. lung experts across the country have known for a long time it can be associated with problems. why? it is so small. those particles are so small and previous studies out of the british medical journal have shown up to 40% increase in dementia. viewers want to know why am i talking about the brain when it's coming through the lungs? the answer is, it's so small it crosses the blood/brain barrier into the brain. another study out of the university of north carolina shows that it causes neural inflammation in the brain. we know from increasing research that if the brain gets inflamed, it can lead to alzheimer's and dementia. we've been focusing on the abnormal proteins in the brain but inflammation is the key. these particles in your body can lead to inflammation. increasing amount of researc

on the same day the university of michigan inflation expectations, one of the oldest gauges of inflation expectations come away older -- explosion -- expectations come away older than what the new york fed does, goes back decades. inflation expectations did not weaken much. nevertheless they did go up. the year i had very much driven by inflation numbers went down 3.3 year-over-year from 3.4. the 5-10 your outlook came in -- year outlook came in 2.9 versus 3.0 and has been in that range for 24 of 25 months with gasoline prices going, people scratching their heads. if you look at this, it is good news for the fed. maybe they cannot pause in september or at least think about it. look at consumer prices contrasting producer prices. you say, maybe they cannot. maybe they have more to do. we heard it from fed officials recently. one more thing that is very interesting, paul, the consumer price index has certain elements, services went up. that could affect what we will see in the august pce deflator. the pce deflator is the fed's main gauge. health insurance costs, things that are a little mo

justin wolfers, professor of economics and public policy at the university of michigan joins us. stin, inflation is lower today than it was a year ago. how much is the i.r.a. responsible for that? >> there's too way of telling that story, stephanie. one is you look at the graph of inflation that goes bump, bump, bump really high, and then suddenly ventilation production act passes, and suddenly, boom, it crashes back down to third of its previous level. that might be what you're hearing on the campaign trail. the truth though is president biden is right, it should never have been called the inflation reduction act. it's got a lot to do with our longer term fiscal sustainability, huge investment in the environment and the move to electrification of vehicles, for instance. in 1 million little ways it will affect your life and mine. but most experts agree that it's had very little effect on inflation so far, and will likely have very little effect on inflation over the next few years. >> to your point, what this is is the government making investments, which hopefully will help us ec
