Forecasting Mexico’s Inflation: the Effects of an Inflation Targeting Regime
This paper studies the effects the implementation of an inflation targeting (IT) regime has on the dynamics of inflation in Mexico. We contextualize the need for a regime change and study whether the implementation of this regime has made a considerable change in the dynamics of inflation in Mexico. Consumer prices are modelled using a markup model. The markup model suggests a long run relation...
متن کاملPrice-Level versus Inflation Targeting in a Small Open Economy
This paper compares two types of monetary policy: price-level targeting and inflation targeting. It reviews recent arguments that favour price-level targeting, and examines how certain factors, such as the nature of the shocks affecting the economy and the degree to which agents are forwardlooking, bear upon the arguments. The paper then extends the analysis to a small open economy such as Cana...

متن کاملIs inflation targeting operative in an open economy setting?
The justification for inflation targeting rests on three core propositions. The first is called ‘lean against the wind’, which refers to fact that the monetary authority contracts (expands) aggregate demand below capacity when the actual rate of inflation is above (below) target. The second is ‘the divine coincidence’, which means that stabilizing the rate of inflation around its target is tant...
متن کاملModeling and Forecasting Iranian Inflation with Time Varying BVAR Models
This paper investigates the forecasting performance of different time-varying BVAR models for Iranian inflation. Forecast accuracy of a BVAR model with Litterman’s prior compared with a time-varying BVAR model (a version introduced by Doan et al., 1984); and a modified time-varying BVAR model, where the autoregressive coefficients are held constant and only the deterministic components are allo...
