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 …

revisit claims in the literature that money growth is Granger-causal for inflation at low frequencies. Applying frequency …-specific tests in a comprehensive system setup for euro-area data we consider various theoretical predictors of inflation. A general … Granger-causal for low-frequency inflation movements, and all variables affect money growth. We therefore interpret opposite …

I carry out my analysis based on a high-frequency identification and the estimation of a … forward guidance, i.e. forecasters revise their long-run expectations upwards. Consequently, inflation increases, which …

Evidence on the credibility of a central bank's inflation target typically refers to the anchoring of survey …-based measures of inflation expectations. However, both the survey question and the anchoring criteria are only loosely connected to … the actual inflation target used in monetary policy practice. By using the exact wording of the ECB's definition of price …

This paper examines the reasons for the declining path of inflation since the 1970s. In particular, it focusses on the … inflation. The paper makes use of different data from individual countries and panel of countries. These data show that the … dispersion of inflation and the behavior of relative prices follow a pattern that is consistent with several globalization …

Many central banks worldwide announce numerical inflation targets, typically ranging from zero to two percent in … advanced economies and higher in developing countries. Historically, a significant gap existed between the inflation targets … for zero or negative inflation targets and surveys new forces justifying positive targets. Key factors include (i) trends …
