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 …

asymmetry of sectoral relative-price changes and the aggregate inflation rate. This correlation is widely interpreted as … evidence that short-run inflation is determined by supply-side factors; however, we study whether, in addition to the inflation …, that the positive and significant effect of relative-price change asymmetries on inflation is not robust with respect to …

Unconventional fiscal policy uses trivial … announcements of future consumer-price increases to boost inflation expectations and consumption expenditure on impact. Instead … inflation expectations and spending today. We find households' inflation expectations and readiness to spend react substantially …

In a recent paper, Atkeson and Kehoe (2004) demonstrated the lack of a robust empirical relationship between inflation … relationship by allowing for inflation and growth to have a nonlinear specification dependent on inflation levels. In particular …, we allow for the possibility that high inflation is negatively correlated with growth, while a positive relationship …

This paper argues that central bankers should temporarily raise inflation when anticipating liquidity traps to signal … their credibility to forward guidance policies. As stable inflation in normal times either stems from central banker …'s credibility, e.g. through reputation, or from his aversion to inflation, the private sector is unable to infer the central banker …
