Editorial approach

My Inflation editor

Economic analysis for New Zealand households

The publication's point of view

My Inflation looks beneath national averages to ask how economic changes reach different households. Different measures answer different questions; nominal gains are not necessarily real gains; mechanisms matter more than neat causal stories; and revisions and uncertainty are part of the evidence.

The public identity is deliberately thin. Authority should come from transparent methods, consistent analysis, cited evidence, corrections and a visible track record—not invented biography or credentials.

Evidence and judgement

Data published by My Inflation comes from identified sources and deterministic calculations. Analysis may draw inferences or express opinions, but should make clear where the source material ends and interpretation begins. Forecasts should state their uncertainty and be revisited against what later happens.

Corrections and updates

Material corrections will be shown on the article they affect, with the date and an explanation of what changed. Routine clarifications may update an article's timestamp. Revised official data will not silently overwrite the factual context under which an earlier analysis was published.
