This study estimates degree of intrinsic inflation persistence in Pakistan using aggregate price index, group level … price indices, and individual commodity prices. We find no evidence of a unit root in (MoM) inflation at any level, except … for house rent. Using monthly data from 1959 to 2011 we find that the estimate of (overall) inflation persistence is 0 …

Recent research work has shown that inflation rate is asymmetric and it is also well known that asymmetry is a non …-linear phenomenon. In order to better understand this non-linearity in inflation of Pakistan, we investigate the possible presence of … Smooth Transition Autoregressive (STAR) non-linearity in inflation series. The study finds that month on month inflation …

In this study we estimate standard errors of … month on month and year on year inflation in Pakistan under stochastic approach, following Clement and Izan (1987). We … contribute in this study by providing mechanism and estimating the standard error of period average of YoY inflation and apply …

This explains why the depreciation of sterling in 1992 left inflation unchanged. In … contrast, high real import prices in 1974 increased inflation because wage accommodation effects were absent. …

Recent decades have seen a considerable expansion of global trade and a simultaneous decline in inflation volatility …. This paper investigates whether greater openness to trade helps achieve inflation stability. Using panel data for a sample … effect of openness on inflation volatility.
