Inflation Differentials Among European Monetary Union Countries: An Empirical Evaluation With Structural Breaks

Abstract: Inflation rates and their convergence within Euro area have been a major concern, since well before the advent of the single currency. Inflation differentials are a normal phenomenon in any monetary union and even in long-established monetary unions. The aim of this research is to examine the main factors of inflation differentials in the Euro-zone for the period 1999–2018. Our empirical estimates appear to suggest that a one-percentage-point increase in the positive output gap typically leads to an increase o… Show more

“…Some of these studies (Hofmann and Remsperger (2005); Licheron ( 2007)) mentioned that because of the goal of low inflation and the single monetary policy, the strong persistence effects of inflation differentials would decrease and eventually vanish. Contrary to these expectations, our results, which are common with the results of Stylianou (2022), show that this persistence remains strong and statistically significant even after all these years despite the available time for convergence.…”

“…The responsibility of managing the money supply and influencing interest rates lies with the central bank of each country, a function governed by the tools of monetary policy [4,5]. It is well-established that unexpected increases in the money supply lead to higher interest rates and, subsequently, to an increase in prices [6].…”

“…The monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) aims to promote productivity growth, maintain low and stable inflation, and reduce and homogenize real effective exchange rates within the EMU. The main aim of ECB is to keep prices stable, thereby supporting economic growth and job creation (Stylianou, 2022).…”
