We examine both the degree and the structural stability of inflation persistence at different quantiles of the … conditional inflation distribution. Previous research focused exclusively on persistence at the conditional mean of the inflation … rate. As economic theory provides reasons for inflation persistence to differ across conditional quantiles, this is a …

A growing body of empirical evidence shows that there exists a long-run positive tradeoff between inflation and real … between inflation and output. …

hyperbolic discounting leads to inflation having significant long-run effects on real variables. …
