Trend, seasonal, and sectorial inflation in the Euro Area

Esto puede ser la consecuencia de cambios en la institucionalidad monetaria, una menor volatilidad de los shocks agregados a la economía, una mejor institucionalidad financiera o una mayor ...
Traspaso de tipo de cambio nominal a inflación desagregada en Chile
Una cuestión central para el manejo de la política monetaria en economías abiertas a flujos de bienes y servicios es entender cuál es la relación entre los movimientos del tipo de cambio nominal y el comportamiento de los precios locales. En particular, entender en qué medida, y a través de qué ...
Monetary policy and key unobservables: evidence from large industrial and selected inflation-targeting countries
In recent years, the design of monetary policy has focused on gaps—the output gap, the interest rate gap, and the unemployment rate gap have all played a role in policy discussions. Standard models used for policy analysis are either specified in terms of such gaps or imply important roles for these ...
