we try to identify the main factors that contributed to it, with a focus on Brazil. We estimate an interval for Brazil … highly sensitive to inflation and output variations …

Many central banks in emerging and advanced economies have adopted an inflation-forecast targeting (IFT) approach to … monetary policy, in order to successfully establish a stable, low-inflation environment. To support policy making, each has …-fledged inflation targeting …

This paper provides some empirical estimates on how tightly is it feasible to control inflation in a very small open … inflation and output variability that are achievable under a range of alternative monetary policy rules. These frontiers … illustrate that inflation stabilization is more challenging in Iceland than in other industrial countries primarily because of …

We offer a novel methodology for assessing the quality of inflation reports. In contrast to the existing literature …, which mostly evaluates the formal quality of these reports, we evaluate their economic content by comparing inflation … coding of inflation reports to describe inflation factors communicated by central banks in real time. Regarding the latter …

Standard New Keynesian (NK) models feature an optimal inflation target well below two percent, limited welfare losses …-run Phillips curve between inflation and unemployment and a trade-off between price distortions and output hysteresis that change … the welfare-maximizing inflation level. For a plausible set of parameters, the optimal inflation target is in excess of …

supply chain disruptions for inflation and monetary policy in sub-Saharan Africa. Increases in supply chain pressures have … had a sizeable impact on headline, food, and tradable inflation for a panel of 29 sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 … to 2022. Our findings suggest that central banks can stabilize inflation and output more efficiently by monitoring global …

We study the inflation process in India, focusing on the periods before and after the adoption of flexible inflation … core inflation, an examination of the sensitivity of medium-term inflation expectations to inflation surprises, and the … properties of convergence between headline and core inflation. Results indicate an important role for domestic factors in driving …

expectations to provide a comparison of inflation persistence in Brazil with a sample of inflation targeting (IT) countries. This … approach suggests that inflation persistence increased in Brazil through early 2013, in contrast to many of its IT peers …Inflation persistence is sometimes defined as the tendency for price shocks to push the inflation rate away from its …

This paper investigates macroprudential policy effects on bank systemic risk and the role of inflation targeting in … further under inflation targeting. Our findings lend credence to the view that inflation targeting strengthens macroprudential …

This paper proposes a new method of estimating the Taylor rule with a time-varying implicit inflation target and a time …-varying natural rate of interest. The inflation target and the natural rate are modeled as random walks and are estimated using …
