Monetary search theory implies that the real effects of inflation via its impact on price dispersion depend on the … level of search costs and, thus, on the level of market integration. For less integrated markets, the inflation …-price dispersion nexus is predicted to be asymmetrically V-shaped which results in an optimal inflation rate above zero. For highly …

The behavior of Spanish inflation rates at the provincial level (consumption prices) differs over the two spans of time … the remarkable persistence shown by the Spanish inflation, the PANIC (panel analysis of non-stationarity in idiosyncratic … second period studied. Besides inflation, we draw attention to a battery of economic and labor variables, mostly through …

In this paper, we present evidence on the statistical features of observed dispersion in inflation rates in the Euro … area. Our descriptive exercise shows that there is still a remarkable dispersion of HICP inflation rates and most of … dispersion originates in the non-traded categories of the HICP. We examine the determinants of inflation differentials in a panel …
