Relative Price Distortions and Inflation Persistence
Sticky-price models often suggest that relative price distortion is a major cost of ination. We provide an intuition for this: Even at low rates, ination strongly a¤ects price dispersion which in turn has an impact on the economy qualitatively similar to, and of the order of magnitude of, a negative shift in productivity. The utility cost of price dispersion is quanti ed and its impact on opt...
متن کاملInflation Persistence
This chapter examines the concept of inflation persistence in macroeconomic theory. It begins with a definition of persistence, emphasizing the difference between reduced-form and structural persistence. It then examines a number of empirical measures of reduced-form persistence, considering the possibility that persistence has changed over time. The chapter then examines the theoretical source...
متن کاملNoncausality and inflation persistence
We use noncausal autoregressions to examine the persistence properties of quarterly U.S. consumer price inflation from 1970:1—2012:2. These nonlinear models capture the autocorrelation structure of the inflation series as accurately as their conventional causal counterparts, but they allow for persistence to depend on the size and sign of shocks to inflation as well as the inflation rate. Infla...
متن کاملMisalignment on the Persistence of Inflation in Iran
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of exchange rate misalignment on inflation persistence. For this purpose, Vector Auto Regression method and Markov Switching model is used for quarterly data during 1989:4 -2014:3. The results show that, the impact of liquidity growth and exchange rate misalignment on inflation persistence is positive. On the other hand, GDP growth has a ne...
متن کاملDynamic Financial Contracting with Persistence
We study a setting in which a principal provides an agent with funds to operate a rm. The agent is liquidity constrained and privately observes the revenue of the rm. In other words, the agent can divert revenue to projects that bene t only him. Time is discrete and in nite, and revenues are subject to stochastic shocks that are persistent over time. As in the iid case studied by Clementi and H...
