Title: A quantitative analysis of cost-push shocks and optimal inflation volatility
Author: Senay, Ozge
Sutherland, Alan
Appeared in: Applied economics letters
Paging: Volume 15 (2008) nr. 10 pages 753-757
Year: 2008-08
Contents: This article presents a quantitative analysis of optimal inflation volatility in a simple sticky-price general equilibrium model subject to both supply and cost-push shocks. It is found that optimal policy implies a relatively small degree of inflation volatility even when cost-push shocks are the dominant source of economic disturbance. In addition, it is found that optimal policy generates only a very small welfare gain when compared to strict inflation targeting.
