Inflation Target at Risk: A Time-varying Parameter Distributional Regression
通胀目标面临的风险:时变参数分布回归
Inflation exhibits state-dependent, skewed, and fat-tailed dynamics that make risk a central concern for monetary policy. Accordingly, inflation risks are distributional and cannot be fully captured by mean-based models. We propose a flexible time-varying parameter distributional regression model that estimates the full conditional distribution of inflation, allowing macroeconomic drivers to have nonlinear and asymmetric effects across the distribution. Applied to U.S.…
