In most OECD countries, we cannot reject up to three breaks in the mean of inflation: one break in the late 1960's … phenomena. We also show that ignoring breaks in the mean of inflation clearly lead to overrate inflation persistence in standard … bi-variate models of inflation. The response of inflation to shocks in these models is markedly faster with breaks than …
