Relative price variability and inflation: New evidence

Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between relative price variability (RPV) and inflation using monthly micro price data for 128 goods in 13 Turkish regions/cities for the period 1994-2010. The unique feature of this data set is the inclusion of annual inflation rates ranging between 0 % and 90 %.Nonparametric estimations show that there is a hump-shaped relationship between RPV and inflation, where the maximum RPV is achieved when annual inflation is approximately 20 %. It is shown that this result is c… Show more

“…Inflation also increases price dispersion-see Hoomissen (1988), Lach and Tsiddon (1992), Konieczny and Skrzypacz (2005), Caglayan and Filiztekin (2003), and Baglan, Ege Yazgan, and Yilmazkuday (2016). During periods of high inflation, consumers cannot learn from relative prices.…”

“…The literature that investigates links between prices and their dispersion during high-inflation scenarios includes Hoomissen (1988) and Lach and Tsiddon (1992) for Israel; Tommasi (1992) for Argentina; Caglayan and Filiztekin (2003), Caglayan et al (2008), and Baglan et al (2016) for Turkey; and Konieczny and Skrzypacz (2005) for Poland. Among these countries, only Argentina experienced hyperinflation similar to that experienced by Brazil from the 80s until mid-90s.…”
