This paper studies the relationship between inflation, output, money and interest rates in the euro area, using data spanning 1980–2000. The P model is shown to have considerable empirical support. Thus, the “price gap” or, equivalently, the “real money gap” (the gap between current real balances and long-run equilibrium real balances), has substantial predictive power for future inflation. The...

The paper presents a model with endogenous fe...
