the Taylor rule is beneficial if the central bank aims at optimally stabilizing inflation and output gap variability under … discretion. Placing a weight on deviations from a simple Taylor rule increases the overall relative weight of inflation …

derived. The reason is that inflation, output and the interest rate are convex functions of each member's idiosyncratic degree … of model uncertainty. If the degree of model uncertainty becomes more heterogenous, inflation volatility falls due to …

The adoption of a credible monetary policy regime such as inflation targeting is known to reduce the persistence of … inflation fluctuations. This conclusion, however, is derived from aggregate inflation or sectoral inflation rates, not from … regional inflation data. This paper studies the regional dimension of inflation targeting, i.e. the consequences of inflation …

chain shock explains about 30% of inflation dynamics. We also use regional data on supply chain pressure to isolate shocks …

We examine both the degree and the structural stability of inflation persis tence at different quantiles of the … conditional inflation distribution. Previous research focused exclusively on persistence at the conditional mean of the inflation … higher inflation persistence at the upper than at the lower tail of the conditional inflation distribution. Based on post …
