This paper empirically compares sticky-price and sticky-information Phillips curves considering inflation dynamics in … moments of inflation. Under baseline calibrations, the two models perform similarly in almost all countries. Under estimated … unconditional moments of inflation dynamics better while sticky information is more successful in matching co-movement of inflation …

This paper analyses the post-pandemic inflation dynamics in Canada using a behavioral macroeconomic model of the Bank …-pandemic inflation can be explained by these simple heuristics and traced back to the lifting of economic restrictions in mid-2020 …, triggering demand-pull inflation. This result suggests that the cost-push inflation in 2021 and beyond actually originated from a …

, examines some hypotheses that might explain the poor quality of recent inflation forecasts based on the conventional Phillips … curve. Among the various explanations we consider for the persistent underestimation of inflation, the one that emerges most … clearly from our findings is that the process by which inflation expectations are formed has changed in recent years. Shifts …

This study examines the impact of productivity growth on the relationship between inflation and unemployment in Canada …

This paper discusses four potential sources of lag dynamics in inflation: non-rational behavior, staggered contracting …, frictions on price adjustment, and shifts in the long-run inflation anchor of agent expectations (the perceived inflation target …). Expressions for inflation dynamics from structural models which admit these different sources of lag dynamics are contrasted …

Against the backdrop of an ongoing review of the inflation-targeting framework, this paper examines the real …-time inflation forecasts of the Bank of Canada with the aim of identifying potential areas for improvement. Not surprisingly, the … results show that errors in forecasting non-core inflation (commodity prices etc.) are found to be the largest contributors to …

Potential links between inflation and unemployment in Canada have been examined. No consistent Phillips curve has been … linear links between inflation and unemployment could exist - before 1983 and after 1983. A linear and lagged relationship … between inflation, unemployment and labor force has been obtained for Canada. Similar relationships were reported previously …
