Modelling Italian Inflation, 1970-2006

Rivista di Politica Economica, 2009, issue 1, 65-110

Abstract: In this paper we propose a model for the dynamics of inflation in Italy. It is shown that both in the short and long run the inflation patterns cannot be explained by a single cause. Changes in monetary and credit markets, and in many sectors of the Italian economy suggest to split the sample period into two sub-samples and modelling inflation differently for each of the periods. Moreover, a robustness analysis rejects the hypothesis of a structural break associated with the institutional changes occurred in 1999, with the adhesion to the EMU and the adoption of the euro.
