We use noncausal autoregressions to examine the persistence properties of quarterly U.S. consumer price inflation from … 1970:1.2012:2. These nonlinear models capture the autocorrelation structure of the inflation series as accurately as their … conventional causal counterparts, but they allow for persistence to depend on the size and sign of shocks to inflation as well as …
