. This paper provides a new way of assessing the credibility of monetary policy by analyzing the dispersion of inflation …-unemployment observations over time. In this way, we may reveal whether the short run Phillips curves have shifted due to changes in inflation … expectations. This way of analyzing the anchoring of inflation expectations is both simple and free from ambiguities that are …

competing products, the price of individual products tends to fall over the product lifetime. This holds true for more than 90 …% of the expenditure items underlying the U.K. consumer price index and has important normative implications. Constructing … a sticky price model featuring a product life cycle and rich amounts of heterogeneity, we explain how the optimal in …

This paper investigates the sources of structural change in the Brazilian economy in the 2000s. On that purpose, it uses the input-output structural decomposition analysis and introduces a method to correct the influence of prices on the time behavior of the technical coefficients, making them...

This paper studies the great collapse in value added trade using a structural decomposition analysis. We show that changes in vertical specialisation accounted for almost half of the great trade collapse, while the previous literature on gross trade has mainly focused on final expenditure,...

One of the main stylised facts that has emerged from the recent literature on global value chains is that bilateral trade imbalances in gross terms can differ substantially from those measured in value added terms. However, the factors underlying the extent and sign of the differences between...

The dependency on imported essential production inputs poses a threat of abrupt price hikes and shortages, potentially … demand due to the subsidy does not significantly influence the price of the essential production input. If it does, this … to firms. The effectiveness of these policies ultimately hinges on their impact on the price of the imported input. …

In a parsimonious regime switching model, expected consumption growth varies over time. Adding in ation as a conditioning variable, we uncover two states in which expected consumption growth is low, one with high and one with negative expected in ation. Embedded in a general equilibrium asset...

Our paper studies the relationship between money growth and consumer price inflation in the euro area using wavelet … analysis. Wavelet analysis allows to account for variations in the money growth-inflation relationship both across the … frequency spectrum and across time. We find evidence of strong comovements between money growth and inflation at low frequencies …
