For decades, the academic literature has focused on three survey measures of expected inflation: the Livingston Survey, the Survey of Professional Forecasters, and the Michigan Survey. While these measures have been useful in developing models of forecasting inflation, the data are low frequency...

Our objective in this paper is to identify the nature of the dependence or causal relationship that exists between US inflation and commodity prices using recent methods of linear cointegration, and non-linear Granger causality. The main contribution is the construction of a noisy chaotic...

The objective of this paper is to examine causality and feedback relationships between primary commodity prices and US inflation. To this end, the bivariate noisy Mackey-Glass process recently developed by Kyrtsou and Labys (2006) has been applied to assess this relationship. Results obtained...

I present evidence that higher frequency measures of inflation expectations outperform lower frequency measures of inflation expectations in tests of accuracy, predictive power, and rationality. For decades, the academic literature has focused on three survey measures of expected inflation: the...

In this paper we investigate the behavior of inflation persistence in the United States. To model inflation we estimate … an autoregressive GARCH-in-mean model with variable coefficients and we propose a new measure of second-order time … varying persistence, which not only distinguishes between changes in the dynamics of inflation and its volatility, but it also …

Standard theory predicts persistence dependence in numerous economic relationships. (For example, persistence … dependence is precisely the kind of nonlinear relationship posited in the Permanent Income Hypothesis; persistence dependence is … inference about persistence dependence in an economic relationship using available methods. However, recently developed …

We establish that the Phillips curve is persistence-dependent: inflation responds differently to persistent versus … Recession. The persistence-dependent relationship we uncover is interpretable as being business-cycle-phase-dependent and is …
