Analyzing inflation as a change in the value of a currency, rather than changes in prices of goods and services …, provides perspective on three fundamental sources of inflation.A Money Value Formula produces a significant statistical fit … with forward long-term inflation rates using long lags of monetary aggregates with inflation variability due almost …

We empirically characterize episodes of large inflation surges that have been observed worldwide in the last three … decades. We document four facts. (1) Inflation following surges tends to be persistent, with the duration of disinflation … exceeding that of the initial inflation increase. (2) Surges are initially unexpected but followed by a gradual catch-up of …

This paper tries to explain why high inflation levels persist during long periods of time, in several countries … affected by chronic inflation, without the necessary corrective measures being implemented. Political models of conflict … results of a tobit model estimated over a panel of 10 countries affected by chronic inflation and covering 43 years of …

and lagged relationships between the rates of inflation, unemployment, and change in labour force. For France, several … relationships were estimated eight years ago. The change rate of labour force was used as a driving force of inflation and … estimated with eight new readings obtained since 2004. The rate of CPI inflation is predicted with RMSFE=1.5% per year. For the …

This paper evaluates the link between central bank independence and inflation for the case of Colombia. It develops a … theoretical framework concerning central bank independence and inflation. It concludes that central bank independence is an … important feature for reducing inflation and partially solvind the problem of time inconsistency, assuming the existence of a …

This paper provides some empirical estimates on how tightly is it feasible to control inflation in a very small open … inflation and output variability that are achievable under a range of alternative monetary policy rules. These frontiers … illustrate that inflation stabilization is more challenging in Iceland than in other industrial countries primarily because of …
