One of the most surprising features of the long current expansion has been the decline in price inflation through the … late 1990s. Some observers interpret the decline as evidence of a permanent change in the relationship between inflation … - most notably, a decrease in import prices - can account for the low inflation rates in recent years …

This paper empirically compares sticky-price and sticky-information Phillips curves considering inflation dynamics in … moments of inflation. Under baseline calibrations, the two models perform similarly in almost all countries. Under estimated … unconditional moments of inflation dynamics better while sticky information is more successful in matching co-movement of inflation …

during and following the recent Great Recession, and that models in which inflation depends on economic slack cannot explain … the recent muted behavior of inflation, given the sharp drop in output that occurred in 2008-09. In this paper, we use a … protracted decline in inflation. The model does so even though inflation remains very dependent on the evolution of both economic …

U.S. monetary policy can remain extraordinarily accommodative only if longer-term inflation expectations stay well … economically small impact on longer-term inflation compensation embedded in U.S. Treasury bonds. The estimated effect is larger for … correlated with the variance of longer-term inflation expectations in the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers in the post …

This paper reviews both theoretical and empirical issues regarding inflation and evaluates the contribution of Kyrtsou … and Labys. Analytically it is very difficult to propose a general theory of inflation because as economies evolve over … time both new causes of inflation emerge and the consequences of inflation become more complex. Kyrtsou and Labys perform …
