The authors test whether the time-series positive correlation of inflation and intermarket relative price variability is also present in a cross section of U.S. cities. They find this correlation to be a robust empirical regularity: cities that have higher than average inflation also have higher...

Previous tests for convexity in the Phillips curve have been biased because researchers have employed filtering techniques for the nonaccelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) that have been fundamentally inconsistent with the existence of convexity. This paper places linear and...

The increase in the independence of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand in 1989 allows a test of the theoretical implications of the central bank independence literature. Furthermore, the similar inflationary experiences of Australia and Canada provide a rare set of controls. This paper shows that...
