摘要
Has the persistence of inflation in the United States changed since 1965? We estimate the persistence of inflation over time using different measures and estimation procedures and we produce confidence intervals for our estimates as well as formal tests of unchanged persistence. We find that inflation persistence has been high and approximately unchanged in the U.S. over our sample period. We reconcile our results with other studies that reached different conclusions.
