There is a risk that Bank of Canada staff may inadvertently be biased when analyzing inflation: when inflation surprises on the downside, staff might emphasize negative idiosyncratic factors. When inflation surprises on the upside, staff might emphasize the positive idiosyncratic factors.2018-10-18T11:36:32+00:00enIntroducing a Systematic Measure of Idiosyncratic Prices2018-10-18Technological Disruption and Opportunity

The proposed measure of price selection is based on the observed comovement between inflation and the average level from which adjusting prices depart.2018-09-07T13:54:30+00:00enPrice Selection2018-09-07Business fluctuations and cyclesInflation and pricesMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2018-44https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/swp2018-44.pdfPrice SelectionCarlos CarvalhoOleksiy KryvtsovSeptember 2018EE3E31E5E51The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Central Banking

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/08/staff-working-paper-2018-39/
Given the influence that agents’ expectations have on key macroeconomic variables, it is surprising that very few papers have tried to extrapolate agents’ “true” expectations directly from the data. This paper presents one such approach, starting with the hypothesis that there is sluggishness in inflation and real GDP growth forecasts.2018-08-22T08:53:36+00:00enSluggish Forecasts2018-08-22Econometric and statistical methodsInflation and pricesStaff Working Paper 2018-39https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/swp2018-39.pdfSluggish ForecastsMonica JainAugust 2018EE3E31E37On the Evolution of the United Kingdom Price Distributions
