我们分析了低通胀时期零售和服务价格的调整,使用了一组来自德国消费者价格指数的个人价格数据,涵盖了1998年至2003年。我们强有力地发现了价格调整随时间和国家而变化的证据。最重要的是,在“无条件”方面的差异。研究发现,部门价格弹性与投入价格波动有关。
We analyse the adjustment of retail and services prices in a period of low inflation, using a set of individual price data from the German Consumer Price Index which covers the years 1998 to 2003. We strong find evidence of time- and state-dependent price adjustment. Most importantly, the differences in ?unconditional? sectoral price flexibility are found to be linked to input price volatility.
