Consumer price adjustment under the microscope : Germany in a period of low inflation

Johannes Hoffmann; Jeong-Ryeol Kurz-Kim

We analyse the adjustment of retail and services prices in a period of low inflation, using a set of individual price data from the German Consumer Price Index which covers the years 1998 to 2003. We strong find evidence of time- and state-dependent price adjustment. Most importantly, the differences in unconditional sectoral price flexibility are found to be linked to input price volatility.
