We run out-of-sample forecasts for the inflation rate of 15 euro-zone countries using a NAIRU Phillips curve and a …

In 2021-22, inflation in Europe soared to multidecade highs, consistently exceeding policymakers’ forecasts and … surprising with its wide cross-country dispersion. This paper analyzes the key drivers of the inflation surge in Europe and its …’s economies. Inflation is more sensitive to domestic slack and external price pressures in emerging European economies compared to …

, subsequently, we didn't see the inflation they predicted. We show that these puzzles disappear in a Vector Autoregressive model … much of the inflation dynamics in the 2012-2014 euro area missing inflation episode. Consequently, economists and models … that excessively focused on the global nature of inflation were liable to miss the contribution of deflationary domestic …

-area inflation. As in a Phillips curve relationship we assume that inflation quantiles depend on past inflation, the output gap, and … distribution. Overall, the quantile regression approach describes the distribution of inflation better than a benchmark univariate … trend-cycle model with stochastic volatility, which is known to perform very well in forecasting inflation. In an out …

This chapter aims at assessing the long-run determinants and the short-run dynamics of inflation in each country … cointegrating VAR approach, which allows for a structural long-run analysis of inflation determinants along with an accurate … inflation differ in the countries belonging to the Euro Area, but also that cost-push factors have a considerable role in …

This study adopts the long-run structural VAR approach to analyse the determinants of inflation in the Euro Area … economy over the period 1985:1-2003:2. Theoretical relationships link inflation to markup and output gap, respectively. The … short-run dynamic properties of inflation are investigated using a structural VECM. Inflation is explained by a mixture of …

In this paper, we evaluate the causal relationship between macroeconomic uncertainty indices, inflation and growth rate … for 17 Eurozone countries on a county level examination. In performing a series of linear and non-linear causality tests …

We construct a Bayesian vector autoregressive model with three layers of information: the key drivers of inflation … information is more crucial for accurately forecasting euro area inflation. Our empirical analysis reveals the importance of … including the key drivers of inflation and taking into account the multi-country dimension of the euro area. The results show …

Macroeconomic conditions are among the key determinants of the inflation outlook. This paper studies how business … cycles affect the conditional distribution of euro-area inflation forecasts. Using a quantile regression approach, I estimate … the conditional distribution of inflation to assess the impact of business cycle conditions over time and the possible …
