Webinar on Inflation Targeting @ EGROW

https://egrowfoundation.org/events/inflation-targetting/


Abstract

For an inflation targeting Central Bank, a precise estimate of the threshold inflation in the economy is important. Existing studies provide estimates without any coherent theory of growth and threshold inflation and hence suffer from several limitations about concept and measurement. The presentation attempts to develop such a theory to establish a stable steady state growth solution. It also operationalises the theory through a model with support from the Indian data for specific components of the model to derive the required functional form. Now that there is an opportunity to revise the inflation target for the period after March 2021, the presentation argues for choosing from the menu of internally consistent options to avoid unnecessary costs.
