This paper investigates the relationship between the level of inflation and regional price-level convergence utilizing micro-level price data from Turkey during two clearly distinguishable periods of high and low inflation. The results indicate that higher persistence and slower convergence of...

We examine the global dimension of inflation in 24 OECD countries between 1980 and 2007in a traditional Phillips curve framework. We decompose output gaps and changes in unitlabor costs into common (or global) and idiosyncratic components using a factor analysis andintroduce these components...

We examine the global dimension of inflation in 24 OECD countries between 1980 and 2007 in a traditional Phillips curve framework. We decompose output gaps and changes in unit labor costs into global and national components using a factor analysis and introduce these components separately in the...

US inflation has reached its highest level in decades with academics and the media alike citing supply chain distortions and shortages in key commodities as the driving factors. While some work has been done evaluating the pass-through (PT) of producer to consumer prices, evidence in the...

In light of 50 years of economic policies designed to integrate Europe - culminating in the elimination of euro zone national currencies in early 2002 - and a vast academic literature on international economic integration, it is of interest to assess how far European integration has come in...

We show that exchange rate pass-through to consumer prices varies not only across countries, but also over time. Previous literature has highlighted the role of an economy's "structure" - such as its inflation volatility, inflation rate, use of foreign currency invoicing, and openness - in...

During the pandemic there have been unprecedented increases in the cost of shipping goods accompanied by delays and backlogs at the ports. At the same time, import price inflation has reached levels unseen since the early 1980s. This has led many to speculate that the two trends are linked. In...
