Assuming that private agents need to learn inflation dynamics to form their inflation expectations and that they … believe a hybrid New-Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) is the true data generating process of inflation, we aim at establishing … the role of forward-looking information in inflation expectation dynamics. We find that longer term expectations are …

assumptions on the functional correspondence between price inflation, inflation expectations and marginal costs. Expectations are … not assumed to be an unbiased predictor of actual inflation and instead derived from the European Commission’s Consumer … Survey data. The results suggest that expectations drive inflation with a lag of about 6 months, which casts further doubt on …

This paper discusses the likely evolution of U.S. inflation in the near and medium term on the basis of (1) past U ….S. experience with very low levels of inflation, (2) the most recent Japanese experience with deflation, and (3) recent U.S. micro … evidence on downward nominal wage rigidity. Our findings question the view that stable long-run inflation expectations and …

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 …

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 …
