We document the presence of both small and large price changes in individual price records from the CPI in France and the US. After correcting for measurement error and cross-section heterogeneity, the size-distribution of price changes has a positive excess kurtosis. We propose an analytical...

The propagation of large shocks instead depends on the nature of the friction: the impulse response of inflation to … use data on exchange rate devaluations and inflation for a panel of countries over 1974-2014 to test for the presence of … sample of flexible-exchange rate countries with low inflation. We discuss the dimensions in which this finding is robust and …

In a broad class of sticky price models the non-neutrality of nominal shocks is encoded by a simple sufficient statistic: the ratio of the kurtosis of the size-distribution of price changes over the frequency of price changes. We test this theoretical prediction using data for a large number of...
