Inflation, relative prices and nominal rigidities - BIS Papers No 19, part 3, October 2003
This paper examines the distribution of Belgian consumer prices and its interaction with aggregate inflation over the period June 1976-September 2000. Given the fat-tailed nature of this distribution, both classical and robust measures of location, scale and skewness are presented. We found a positive short-run impact of the skewness of relative prices on aggregate inflation, irrespective of th...

متن کاملTrend inflation , nominal rigidities , and endogenous growth
We study the implications of trend inflation for an economy’s long-run growth rate. To do so, we extend a New Keynesian model to allow for endogenous growth. The defining characteristic of the New Keynesian framework is that inflation and nominal price stickiness together induce relative price dispersion and thus reduce monopoly profits. When the framework is embedded in an endogenous growth mo...
متن کاملNominal Rigidities and the Optimal Rate of Inflation
This paper analyses two reasons why inflation may interfere with price adjustment so as to create inefficiencies in resource allocation at low rates of inflation. The first argument is that the higher the rate of inflation the lower the likelihood that downward nominal rigidities are binding (the Tobin argument) which implies a non-linear Phillips-curve. The second argument is that low inflatio...
متن کاملRelative Goods’ Prices and Pure Inflation
This paper uses a dynamic factor model for the quarterly changes in consumption goods’ prices to separate them into three components: idiosyncratic relative-price changes, aggregate relative-price changes, and changes in the unit of account. The model identifies a measure of “pure” inflation: the common component in goods’ inflation rates that has an equiproportional effect on all prices and is...
