Public debt and changing inflation targets
Krause, Michael; Moyen, Stéphane - 2013

On the low-frequency relationship between public deficits and inflation
Kliem, Martin; Kriwoluzky, Alexander; Sarferaz, Samad - 2013
We estimate the low-frequency relationship between fiscal deficits and inflation and pay special attention to its potential time variation by estimating a time-varying VAR model for U.S. data from 1900 to 2011. We find the strongest relationship neither in times of crisis nor in times of high...

We estimate long-run elasticities that are substantially lower than in comparable … to tax base changes than other studies and a dynamic reaction pattern spanning several years, which can be explained, for …
