Previous studies have stressed that inflation dynamics exhibit a substantial dispersion across sectors. Using US … producer price data, we present evidence that sectoral inflation persistence is negatively correlated with market concentration … strategic complementarity generates greater inflation persistence, our model successfully replicates the observed negative …

Inflation affects the purchasing power of households. This paper documents large, idiosyncratic inflation differences … between households in their everyday shopping.

The objective of this study was to shed new light on the non-linear effects of inflation and the inflation thresholds … countries in order to see if there are any differences in the empirical linkage between inflation and long-term growth. For the … full sample of African countries, the empirical evidence showed that inflation hampered growth if it exceeds 11.1 percent …

We use cointegration tests that determine endogenously the regime shift to test for bilateral inflation rate … breaks, only for seven of the fourteen countries examined we find evidence of a long run relationship between their inflation … rates and the German inflation rate. In contrast, our innovative approach provides strong evidence in favour of such …
