We investigate the relationship between inflation and price variation using highly disaggregated, weekly price data for … consumption goods recorded in Germany during 1995, a low inflation period. We find a significant positive correlation between the … correlated with price changes. As the rate of inflation rises, both variability and dispersion become affected. During …

following the classical approach based on I(0) stationarity or I(1) cointegrating relationships, we use fractional integration/cointegration … three variables are I(1). But we only find cointegration in the presence of autocorrelated disturbances, which means that … opposed to classical cointegration, which implies long memory and slow reversion to equilibrium.
