Since the early 1980s, the United States economy has changed in some important ways: Inflation now rises considerably … less when unemployment falls and the volatility of output and inflation have fallen sharply. This paper examines whether … volatility of monetary policy reaction functions can account for most or all of the change in the inflation …

The authors solve the IS puzzle for the G7 countries. They find that five of the G7 countries have the expected significant negative relationship between the output gap and the real-rate gap; the time series of the remaining two show material deviation from expected IS-curve behavior. The...

economists to engage with Phillips' famous unemployment/wage-inflation analysis, now referred to as the Phillips curve. They … formulated the first unemployment/price-inflation version of the Phillips curve and were the first to interpret the Phillips … careful reconstruction and assessment of their original formulation, documenting the close relationship between the wage-inflation …

consider the performance of optimal rules when the underlying relationship between inflation and the output gap may be … nonlinear. In particular if the inflation-output trade off exhibits nonlinearities this will impart a bias to inflation when a … distribution of output and inflation, we show that the sign of the skewness of the distribution of inflation and output depends …

This paper presents a new formulation of conflict inflation labeled the "pass-through" approach, which contrasts with … the existing "pressure balance" approach. The model generates Phillips styled inflation - unemployment dynamics that are a … hybrid of Keynesian and NAIRU dynamics. Conflict inflation arises when economic activity rises above the consistent claims …

Ramsey optimal policy models the persistence of inflation, output gap and federal funds rate without requiring two additional … parameters for inflation indexation and habit persistence. The number of reduced form parameters is larger with Ramsey optimal …

A pre-test of Ramsey optimal policy versus time-consistent policy rejects time-consistent policy and (optimal) simple rule for the U.S. Fed during 1960 to 2006, assuming the reference new-Keynesian Phillips curve transmission mechanism with auto-correlated cost-push shock. The number of reduced...

provides a new perspective on the policy roots of inflation in developed economies. More precisely, the paper demonstrates that … if the distribution of the supply shocks is normal, then the reduced form solution for inflation implies a positive (or … negative) relation between average inflation and the variance of shocks. We argue that the evidence offered in support of this …
