US Imports vs US Inflation Rate
US Imports and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = -0.50 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 1.2e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.04. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from -0.50 to 0.04 once the trend is removed.
