Money and inflation in the Euro Area: A case for monetary indicators? - BIS Working Papers No. 98 - January 2001

چکیده
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 real money gap contains more information about future inflation than the output gap and the Eurosystem’s money-growth indicator (the gap between current M3 growth and a reference value). The results suggest that the Eurosystem’s money-growth indicator is an inferior indicator of future inflation. JEL Classification Numbers: E42, E52, E58

متن کاملThe Risks of Deflation and the Effectiveness of Monetary Policy in the Euro Area *
There is little risk of deflation and a liquidity trap in the euro area. Inflation and short-and long-term inflation expectations are relatively close to 2% per year. With the current short nominal interest rate at 2%, there is ample room for more expansionary monetary policy if needed, and there is no reason to doubt the effectiveness of standard monetary policy in the euro area. Although temp...

متن کاملMeasuring Expected Inflation and the Ex-Ante Real Interest Rate in the Euro Area Using Structural Vector Autoregressions
In this paper, the structural vector autoregression methodology is used to decompose the euro area nominal short-term interest rate into an expected inflation and an ex-ante real interest rate component. The latter may be a useful indicator of the monetary policy stance of the ECB. To this end, a vector autoregression model comprised of the differenced interest rate series and the stationary co...
