متن کاملA Statistical Measure of Core Inflation
This paper examines alternative statistically-based measures of core inflation in Ireland over the period 1976-1999.

The distribution of quarterly price changes is shown, in common with other international studies, to be highly kurtotic (i.e., fat-tailed) and right skewed. This would suggest there is co...
