The pandemic generated heterogeneous demand shocks in the food away from home industry's consumption channels: on-site and deliveries/takeaways. Hence, price adjustments by consumption channel could have also been different. This study examines dishes' prices intended to be consumed as...

This paper analyses inflation dynamics in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) using a constructed dataset for country-specific commodity price indices and panel cointegrated vector autoregressive (VAR) models. Imported commodity price shocks are significant in explaining...

The main focus of the present paper is to analyze the impacts of financial policy on inflation rates. The analysis depended on time series data and was divided into theoretical and applied analytical framework. An econometric model was utilized to reflect the relations between financial policy...

Examining all inflationary cycles during the reform era (1978-present), this paper finds out that China's inflationary cycles during the reform era exhibit a clear pattern that the increase of the growth rate of money supply directly results in inflation expectation, and the decrease of the...

The Euro Area is characterized by little variation in unemployment and strongly procyclical labor productivity. We capture both characteristics in a New Keynesian business cycle model with labor search frictions, where labor can vary along three margins: employment, hours, and effort. We...

This paper proposes a non-linear New Keynesian Phillips curve (Inv-L NK Phillips Curve) to explain the surge of inflation in the 2020s. Economic slack is measured as firms' job vacancies over the number of unemployed workers. After showing empirical evidence of statistically significant...

We estimate the slope of the Phillips curve before and after COVID to quantify the extent to which US post-pandemic inflation is propelled by demand factors. To do so, we exploit cross-sectional variation in inflation and unemployment dynamics across US metropolitan areas, using a Bartik-like...

We estimate a multi-country multi-sector New Keynesian model to quantify the drivers of domestic inflation during 2020–2023 in several countries, including the United States. The model matches observed inflation together with sector-level prices and wages. We further measure the relative...

The pandemic generated heterogeneous demand shocks in the food away from home industry's consumption channels: on-site and deliveries/takeaways. Hence, price adjustments by consumption channel could have also been different. This study examines dishes' prices intended to be consumed as...

This paper analyses the impact of transmission of international oil prices and domestic oil price pass-through policy on major macroeconomic variables in India with the help of a macroeconomic policy simulation model. Three major channels of transmission viz. import channel, price channel and...
