Using information from a variety of sources, including our own estimates from quarterly data for each of the countries over the period 1972–1997, this paper suggests that the exchange rate will play an important role in the transmission of the impact of monetary policy through to the real...

The dynamics of the Phillips Curve in New Keynesian, Expectations Augmented and Hybrid forms are extremely sensitive to the choice, timing and restrictions on variables. An important element of the debate revolves round what information decision-makers took into account at the time and round...

The paper analyses the anchoring of inflation expectations of professional forecasters and consumers in the euro area. We study anchoring, defined as the central bank’s ability to manage expectations, by paying special attention to the impact of the ECB inflation target and ECB inflation...

This paper assesses empirically the two main alternative specifications of the output gap-based Phillips relation for the euro area: the older expectations-augmented Phillips curve and the new Keynesian Phillips curve.The main focus is on the role of expectations and comparison of the two...

This paper examines the empirical performance of the New Keynesian Phillips curve and its hybrid specification in the euro area. Instead of imposing rational expectations, direct measures, ie OECD forecasts, are used as empirical proxies for economic agents inflation expectations.Real marginal...

This paper examines empirical performance of three different Phillips curve specifications in the euro area.Instead of imposing rational expectations, direct measures, ie OECD forecasts, are used to proxy economic agents' inflation expectations.Real marginal costs are measured in three different...

The New Keynesian Phillips curve is widely used in macroeconomics and monetary policy analysis. It is explicitly based on micro-foundations, monopolistically competitive firms and sticky prices. In its original form the New Keynesian Phillips curve is purely forward-looking model of inflation...
