In this paper, we examine the extent to which monetary policy should respond to movements in sectoral inflation rates … for different responses to inflation in different sectors outperforms a rule which just targets aggregate CPI, as does a … rule that responds only to non food and energy inflation. However, we find that the optimal sectoral rule only leads to a …

data determine two inflation regimes and find that they are characterized by high and low inflation volatility. We then … exhibit a more substantial and more persistent effect on downstream prices during periods of elevated inflation volatility … effective in State 2. Exogenously differentiating regimes by the level of inflation or the shock size does not reveal state …

A major challenge for monetary policy has been predicting how exchange rate movements will impact inflation. We propose …

We empirically examine and compare the determinants of producer and consumer price inflation in 10 Asian economies … are more important in explaining producer price inflation than consumer price inflation in the 10 Asian economies. On the … other hand, for consumer prices, demand-pull factors still explain much of the inflation. Finally, we find that the …

Against the difficult background of analysing aggregated data in this paper core inflation in the euro area is … misleading indicator for monetary policy in the euro area. We furthermore compare our core inflation measure to the wide … coincident indicator of HICP inflation. Assessing the robustness of our core inflation measure we carefully conclude that it …

We use a simple New Keynesian model, with firm specific capital, non-zero steady-state inflation, long-run risks and … rate by 150 basis points causes output and inflation volatility to rise around 10% above their steady-state standard … deviations from the policy rule and the results are re-enforced by the presence of non-zero trend inflation. …

This paper examines the long-run effects of supply shocks (such as oil shocks) on inflation in the United States. The … persistence of supply shocks in U.S. inflation fell considerably during the period of Volcker's disinflation (1979-1982). My … the behavior of inflation expectations-agents expected shocks to persist in the pre-Volcker period, but not in the post …
