Persistence, Excess Volatility, and Volatility Clusters in Inflation

Abstract

This article presents a single, integrated model to explain the persistence and volatility characteristics of the U.S. inflation time series. Policymakers learning about a Markov-switching natural rate of unemployment in a neoclassical Phillips curve model with time-varying preferences produces inflation persistence, volatility clustering, and mean/variance correlation.
