Introduction to the Research Handbook on Inflation

Guido Ascari and Riccardo Trezzi

A chapter in Research Handbook on Inflation, 2025, pp 1-5 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The Research Handbook of Inflation seeks to address a critical gap in inflation literature, emerging at a time when inflation has resurged as a pivotal issue in macroeconomics. Following a period of low and stable inflation, the post-pandemic landscape saw unprecedented spikes in price levels, prompting urgent discussions around monetary policy among central banks globally. This comprehensive Handbook encompasses 29 chapters that cover an extensive range of topics related to inflation, including measurement, dynamics, price-setting behaviours, expectations, and forecasting methodologies. Contributors from top academic institutions and central banks provide insights into inflation determinants and responses to recent economic challenges. Organized into eight sections, the volume emphasizes both theoretical foundations and empirical findings, offering a comprehensive perspective on inflation and monetary policy. With a focus on bridging the gap between scholarly research and practical applications, this Handbook serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners dedicated to understanding and managing inflation effectively in today's dynamic economic environment.
