This paper addresses the relative importance of monetary indicators for forecasting inflation in the euro area in a … empirical question whether the group of monetary variables is relevant for forecasting euro area inflation. In our application …, we consider about thirty monetary and non-monetary indicators for inflation. Using this data, BMA provides inclusion …

In general, central banks are concerned with keeping the inflation rate stable while also sustaining output close to an … efficient level. Under "inflation targeting", forecasts of the evolution of the general price level are an essential input for … policy decisions and these are usually released in quarterly "Inflation Reports". The costs and benefits of transparency in …

Forecasting inflation is an important and challenging task. In this paper we assume that the core inflation components … evolve as a multivariate local level process. This model, which is theoretically attractive for modelling inflation dynamics … estimates, as we show in a Monte Carlo exercise. In an application to euro-area inflation we find that our forecasts compare …

factors that influence trend inflation in the USA. Using structural shocks that incorporate a broad set of information for the … US economy, we find that four structural shocks have significant effects on trend inflation: productivity, price mark …-up, government policy, and finance. During and in the aftermath of the Great Recession, trend inflation became more volatile after …

The purpose of the paper is to introduce the framework for decomposing the forecast of headline inflation, obtained by … core inflation. The model for inflation decomposition is a small structural model, set up in state space framework. Kalman … filter procedure is applied to filter the future paths of CPI components, given projected headline inflation obtained by …

Monetary policymakers and long-term investors would benefit greatly from a measure of underlying inflation that uses … all relevant information, is available in real time, and forecasts inflation better than traditional underlying inflation … measures such as core inflation measures. This paper presents the “FRBNY Staff Underlying Inflation Gauge (UIG)” for CPI and …

This study analyzes global inflation synchronization and derives policy implications for the Korean economy. Unlike … previous studies that assume a single global inflation factor, this study investigates if inflation in Korea can be explained … further by other global inflation factors. Our principal component analysis provides three principal components for global …

With the concept of trend inflation now widely understood as to be important as a measure of the public's perception of … the inflation goal of the central bank and important to the accuracy of longer-term inflation forecasts, this paper uses … Bayesian methods to assess alternative models of trend inflation. Reflecting models common in reduced-form inflation modeling …
