Underlying Core Inflation with Multiple Regimes
多状态下的潜在核心通胀
This paper introduces a new approach for estimating core inflation indicators based on common factors across a broad range of price indices. Specifically, by utilizing procedures for detecting multiple regimes in high-dimensional factor models, we propose two types of core inflation indicators: one incorporating multiple structural breaks and another based on Markov switching. The structural breaks approach can eliminate revisions for past regimes, though it functions as an…
