Is inflation (still) a global phenomenon? We study the international co-movement of inflation based on a dynamic factor … explains approximately 58% of the variation in headline inflation across all countries and over 72% in OECD economies. The … explanatory power of global inflation is equally high in a shorter sample spanning the time since 2000. Core inflation is also …

inflation (PPI) across countries. Using a multi-country, industry-level dataset that combines information on PPI and exchange … across a range of econometric tests, input-output linkages account for half of the global component of PPI inflation. We … preserves fat-tailed idiosyncratic shocks and thus leads to a fat-tailed distribution of inflation rates, i.e., periods of …

petrodollars recycling contributed to significant changes in inflation performance in the U.S. We assume that the impact of … could have only a modest disinflationary effect on U.S. inflation. However, if some fundamental factors, such as these … countries' exchange rates, demand and wage change (i.e. increase), then the downward pressure on U.S. inflation will be …

The perception that inflation dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are driven by supply shocks implies a limited role … for monetary policy in influencing inflation in the short run. SSA's rapid growth, its integration with the global economy …, changes in the policy frameworks, among others, in the last decade suggest that the drivers of inflation may have changed. We …

little persistence of inflation during the 19th century. Using a statistical technique that accounts for these errors, we … estimate the persistence of (a) US inflation and (b) inflation in 14 other economies over the period 1842-1913. Our results …

We empirically characterize episodes of large inflation surges that have been observed worldwide in the last three … decades. We document four facts. (1) Inflation surges tend 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 average …

may have dampened inflation in the euro area: first, changed incentives for policymakers; second, global demand and supply … conditions. Our empirical evidence shows that the domestic output gap seems to have lost its influence on inflation in the euro … area; however, we cannot confirm that euro area inflation is instead significantly influenced by the global output gap …

This paper presents an empirical investigation of inflation dynamics in Libya over the period 1964–2010, using … cointegration and error correction models. While inflation inertia is found to be a key determinant of consumer price inflation, the … econometric results indicate that government spending, money supply growth, global inflation, and exchange rate pass-through play …
