(Why) do prices and inflation rates differ within the euro area? We study the relevance of a national border for …-level inflation rates differ for only half of the chains. The results highlight the importance of the history-dependent evolution of … distribution networks and of the structure of the sales organization as a driver of price and inflation heterogeneity. …

This paper analyses how globalization has affected inflation in the New EU Members States (NMS), and Poland in … advanced economies. However, future inflation-dampening effects in the NMS are likely to be smaller as the pace of increases in …

We study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on euro area inflation and how it compares to the experiences of other …-output linkages, affecting both trade and inflation; (2) inflation can be higher under sector-specific labor shortages relative to a … domestic aggregate demand shocks in explaining euro area inflation over 2020-21; and (4) international trade did not respond to …

We estimate a multi-country, multi-sector New Keynesian model to quantify the drivers of domestic inflation during 2020 …-23 in several countries, including the United States. The model matches observed inflation together with sector-level prices … and wages. We further measure the relative importance of different types of shocks on inflation across countries over time …

Correlations of inflation with the growth rate of money increase when data are averaged over longer time periods …. Correlations of inflation with the growth of money also are higher when high-inflation as well as low-inflation countries are … included in the analysis. We show that serial correlation in the underlying inflation rate ties these two observations together …

contribution of fluctuations in inflation to this particular link. In the data, a temporary rise in inflation causes real commodity … prices to rise, as does a rise in trend inflation. We find that a simple dynamic equilibrium model of commodity supply and … demand gives a realistic response of real commodity prices to inflation. Based on historical simulations, shocks to inflation …

Examining a cross-section of up to 69 countries, we are able to show that granting a central … bank more autonomy does not necessarily lead to better inflation performance.
