This paper studies exchange rate pass-through to food and energy consumer price inflation and its dependence on the inflation environment using cross-country panel estimation of Phillips curves. It considers a large panel of OECD member and candidate economies with quarterly data from 1994 to...

The paper analyzes the convergence of inflation rates in the group of more developed members of the Eurozone (core countries). What are the characteristics and is the inflation process in these countries sufficiently homogeneous? Are the analysed inflation rates converging, so that there is an...

We try to examine the potential of input–output price model to identify mechanisms of price formation and transmission. Contrary to previous research that focused on overcoming the specific limitations of the model, we test its overall performance. In the presented study, the historical values...

We calculate global inflation as the first principal component of inflation in a sample of emerging market and advanced economies and find that it may account for an important fraction of headline and core inflation variance across countries. We then show that global inflation is correlated with...

This study investigates the pass-through of exchange rate shocks to different aggregate prices in China. The baseline analysis is carried out with vector autoregressive models incorporating a distribution chain of pricing, and various modifications are examined for robustness. The central...
