We develop a model that can explain the evolution of trend inflation in the United States in the three decades before … inflation arises endogenously and has these determinants: the strength with which the central bank responds to inflation, the … degree of uncertainty about monetary policy perceived by the private sector, and, if it exists, the inflation target.

This paper uses a ‘trendy' approach to understand UK inflation dynamics. It focuses on the time series to isolate a low …-frequency and slow-moving component of inflation (the trend) from deviations around this trend. We find that this slow-moving trend … explains a substantial share of UK inflation dynamics. International prices are significantly correlated with the short …
