Inflation in advanced economies is low by historical standards but there is no threat of deflation. Slower economic … growth is caused by supply-side constraints rather than low inflation. Below-the-target inflation does not damage the … reputation of central banks. Thus, central banks should not try to bring inflation back to the targeted level of 2%. Rather, they …

The paper shows how increases in the inflation rate can cause the output growth rate to decrease by a lessor amount as … the inflation rate rises. This is the so-called non-linearity in the inflation-growth effect. Our explanation helps show … how model-based estimates of the inflation-growth effect can be consistent with evidence. The model includes an explicit …
