Does Inflation Uncertainty Increase with Inflation
回顾了以往研究并提供了新的实证证据，发现通胀不确定性随通胀水平上升而增加，这对美联储制定货币政策具有参考价值。
One of the most important costs of inflation is the uncertainty it creates about future inflation. This uncertainty clouds the decisionmaking of consumers and businesses and reduces economic well-being. Without this uncertainty, consumers and businesses could better plan for the future. According to many analysts, uncertainty about future inflation rises as inflation rises. As a result, these analysts argue that the Federal Reserve could reduce inflation uncertainty by reducing inflation. Other analysts argue that high inflation creates no more uncertainty than low inflation, as long as inflation remains stable. As a result, these analysts argue that high inflation does not necessarily interfere with decisionmaking or reduce economic well-being.> Golob reviews the results of previous research and presents new empirical evidence finding that inflation uncertainty rises with inflation.
