We study inflation dynamics in Colombia using a bottom-up Phillips curve approach. This allows us to capture the … different drivers of individual inflation components. We find that the Phillips curve is relatively flat in Colombia but steeper … dynamics are important for non-tradable goods. We show that besides allowing for a more detailed understanding of inflation …

This paper examines the recent behavior of core inflation in the United States. We specify a simple Phillips curve … based on the assumptions that inflation expectations are fully anchored at the Federal Reserve’s target, and that labor …-market slack is captured by the level of shortterm unemployment. This equation explains inflation behavior since 2000, including …

This paper examines whether expansionary credit policy can help sustain output growth in transition economies, with particular reference to Ukraine’s experience since 1992. We find that, while real credit growth is indeed associated with higher output growth, an increase in the growth rate of...

Yemen has had a high and volatile rate of inflation in recent years. This paper studies the underlying determinants of … inflation dynamics in Yemen using three different approaches: (i) a single equation model, (ii) a Structural Vector … Autoregression Model, and (iii) a Vector Error Correction Model. The outcomes suggest that inflation dynamics in Yemen are driven by …

Estimates of potential output and the neutral short-term interest rate play important roles in policy making. However, such estimates are associated with significant uncertainty and subject to significant revisions. This paper extends the structural multivariate filter methodology by adding a...

Previous tests for convexity in the Phillips curve have been biased because researchers have employed filtering techniques for the NAIRU that have been fundamentally inconsistent with the existence of convexity. This paper places linear and nonlinear models of the Phillips curve on an equal...
