This paper develops a model which can explain the hump-shaped impulse response of inflation to a monetary shock. A …). Nevertheless, we can show that inflation is hump-shaped under a reasonable range of parameters. It will be also shown that, in … order for inflation to be hump-shaped, sticky wages and variable capital utilization are important as well as dynamic …

This paper shows the way how persistent world inflation shocks hitting a small open economy can re-weight the … inflation. We derive a state-dependent Phillips curve based on translog preferences that make the elasticity of substitution of … disinflation on domestic inflation, as experienced in small open economies such as New Zealand, Chile and Peru …

This paper studies the grease effect of inflation by looking at whether the … interaction between inflation and labor market regulations affects how employment responds to changes in output.

By placing store-level price data into bivariate Structural VAR models of inflation and relative price asymmetry, this … forecast error variance in inflation at the 12-month horizon. While the contemporaneous correlation between inflation and … relative price asymmetry is positive, idiosyncratic shocks lead to a substantial build-up in inflation only after two to five …
