contribution to the hypothesis that inflation is primarily caused by conflict, and b) reconcile the Post-Keynesian and New …-Keynesian traditions. In the first section the authors develop a barter model that allows them to prove that inflation can occur with … testability of the proposed framework. We also highlight the ideological roots of the "inflation as conflict" hypothesis and the …

Our paper studies the relationship between money growth and consumer price inflation in the euro area using wavelet … analysis. Wavelet analysis allows to account for variations in the money growth-inflation relationship both across the … frequency spectrum and across time. We find evidence of strong comovements between money growth and inflation at low frequencies …

. Adding inflation as a second variable, we uncover two states in which expected consumption growth is low, one with high and … one with negative expected inflation. Embedded in a general equilibrium asset pricing model with learning, these dynamics …

Empirical evidence suggests that considerable differentials in inflation rates exist across households. This paper … investigates how central banks should react to household inflation heterogeneity in a tractable New Keynesian model. We include two … households that differ in their consumer price inflation rates after adverse shocks. The central bank reacts to either an average …

Inflation in advanced economies is low by historical standards but there is no threat of deflation. Slower economic … growth is caused by supply-side constraints rather than low inflation. Below-the-target inflation does not damage the … reputation of central banks. Thus, central banks should not try to bring inflation back to the targeted level of 2%. Rather, they …

This paper presents estimates of the effects of monetary policy shocks on the Swedish economy. A theoretical model of an open economy is used to identify a structural VAR model. The empirical results from the identified VAR model are compared with two less structural approaches for...

In a parsimonious regime switching model, expected consumption growth varies over time. Adding in ation as a conditioning variable, we uncover two states in which expected consumption growth is low, one with high and one with negative expected in ation. Embedded in a general equilibrium asset...
