We provide an updated evaluation of the value of various measures of core inflation that could be used in the conduct … of monetary policy. We find that the Bank of Canada's current preferred measures of core inflation-CPI-trim, CPI … biased, less volatile and much more persistent relative to alternative core measures and CPI inflation.

The standard measure of core or underlying inflation is the inflation rate excluding food and energy prices. This paper … constructs an alternative measure, the weighted median inflation rate, for 38 advanced and emerging economies using subclass …, and more closely related to headline inflation over the next year. The weighted median also has a drawback: in most …

We propose a framework for consistently evaluating core inflation measures via a straightforward application of sound … statistical inference principles. Under this framework, inflation measures (both headline and core) are regarded as estimators … tracking the economy's true, unobserved inflation rate.

There is no unifying framework for evaluating core inflation measures, so we propose a methodological framework to … close this gap.
