Virtual Lecture: Exposure to Grocery Prices and Inflation Expectations

IWH Research Seminar

Supply Chain Shortages, Large Firms' Market Power, and Inflation

We suggest an equilibrium mechanism for the widely debated argument that “greedflation” has fostered widespread price hikes.

IWH Research Seminar

Zero Lower Bound on Inflation Expectations

We document a new fact: in U.S., European and Japanese surveys, households do not expect deflation, even in environments where persistent deflation is a strong possibility.

Workshops and conferences

23rd IWH-CIREQ-GW Macroeconometric Workshop: Inflation: Modelling, Forecasting and Monetary Policy Reactions

The workshop provides a platform to discuss new developments in the field of empirical and applied macroeconomic modelling and aims at bringing together academic researchers and practitioners. We invite applied and theoretical papers dealing with time series and broad macroeconomic topics. Papers that explicitly cover the macroeconomic modelling, forecasting and monetary policy reactions on inflation are particularly welcome.
