We quantify spillovers of inflation expectations between the United States (US) and Euro Area (EA) based on break …-even inflation (BEI) rates. In contrast to previous studies, we model US and EA BEI rates jointly in a structural vector … autoregressive (SVAR) model. The SVAR approach allows to identify US and EA specific inflation expectations shocks. By modeling the …

We provide comprehensive evidence of the widespread occurrence of inflation convergence between all countries of the … inflation benchmarks (the cross-sectional average, the inflation target of the European Central Bank, and the Maastricht … criterion), structural breaks, and a core inflation measure. Our main findings imply that further enlargement of the euro area …

We investigate drivers of Euro area inflation dynamics using a panel of regional Phillips curves and identify long …-run inflation expectations by exploiting the crosssectional dimension of the data. Our approach simultaneously allows for the … inclusion of country-specific inflation and unemployment-gaps, as well as time-varying parameters. Our preferred panel …
