Inflation rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Inflation, In economics, the inflation rate is the rate of increase of the average price level (a measure of inflation). Alternatively, the inflation rate is the rate of decrease in the purchasing power of money. If one likes analogies, the size of a balloon is like the price level, while the inflation rate is how quickly it grows in size. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Inflation_rate   (129 words)

NAIRU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The concept arose in the wake of the popularity of the Phillips curve which summarized the observed negative correlation between the rate of unemployment and the rate of inflation (measured as annual nominal wage growth of employees) for a number of industrialised countries with more or less mixed economies. The term NAIRU is an acronym for Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment. This "full employment" unemployment rate is sometimes termed the "natural rate of unemployment" or the "inflation-threshold unemployment rate": if actual unemployment falls below the NAIRU, the inflation rate is likely to rise quickly (accelerate). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/NAIRU   (631 words)

Monthly Labor Review: A half-year pause in inflation: its antecedents and structure - Consumer price index suggests lowest inflation rate in 20 years Inflation climbed to double-digit rates during 1974 and registered what was then the largest calendar year change in the history of the CPI, except for the inflationary periods directly associated with the two World Wars. Inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.2 percent during the first 6 months of 1986. The initial price freeze and subsequent Phase II economic controls were accompanied by a lower rate of inflation during the final months of 1971 and throughout 1972. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1153/is_v109/ai_4563468   (1458 words)

Irish Times Article - Inflation rate expected to fall further towards 1% The rate of inflation is set to fall further, after hitting a four-year low of 1.9 per cent in December. While the fall in the inflation rate was welcome, Mr Begg said, he pointed out that because price levels here were much higher than in the rest of Europe, Irish workers still had to pay much more for goods and services. Forecasters at Davy stockbrokers are now predicting that the annual inflation rate could fall below 1 per cent during the spring and average 1.3 per cent for the year. www.ireland.com /newspaper/front/2004/0116/1996305251HM1INFLATION.html   (593 words)

business.iafrica.com business news Inflation rate 'may be over-estimated' Based on the past decade (1992 to 2002) this means inflation has been overestimated by between 2.3 and 3.9 percentage points, so August's reported consumer inflation rate of 5.1 percent year-on-year may in fact be somewhere between 1.2 percent year-on-year and 2.8 percent year-on-year. A comparison with other countries indicates that South Africa's consumer inflation rate may be over-estimated by between 30 percent and 50 percent, according to research by Standard Bank economists. Standard Bank also conducted research to find out what inflation rate was "compatible" with economic growth. business.iafrica.com /news/277979.htm   (496 words)

Housing pushes up S.D. inflation The San Diego Union-Tribune In comparison, the nationwide inflation rate for the year ended in June was 3.3 percent, with a five-year average of 2.7 percent. While the difference in the past year's annual inflation rates may sound small, economists say it is significant, especially because it follows two decades of sharp divergences between the nationwide and local economies. But both investments quickly retreated to their former turf over concerns that the slippage in prices might be too mild and short-lived to put a long-lasting dent in the annual inflation rate. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20040818/news_1b18economy.html   (673 words)

The Telegraph - Calcutta : Business New Delhi, Nov. 21: The rate of inflation fell to 4.88 per cent in the week ended November 8 from 5.01 per cent in the previous week driven by lower prices of edible oils and oilseeds, the government said in a statement. The downward trend in inflation is in line with Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) and the government estimate.

Phillips Curve, by Kevin D. Hoover: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty The Phillips curve represents the relationship between the rate of inflation and the unemployment rate. But if the government initially faced lower rates of unemployment, the costs would be considerably higher: a reduction of unemployment from 4.5 to 3.5 percent is associated with an increase in the inflation rate of about 2 percentage points. Phillips discovered that there was a consistent inverse, or negative, relationship between the rate of wage inflation and the rate of unemployment in the United Kingdom from 1861 to 1957. www.econlib.org /library/Enc/PhillipsCurve.html   (2104 words)

BSP SEES INFLATION RATE BELOW 5% UNTIL 2009 At the same time, the BSP said the inflation outlook also considered the risks that stemmed from the financial market concerns over domestic political conditions in the run-up to the May 2004 elections, factors that might influence the direction and movement of the peso-dollar exchange rate as well as other financial variables. This year, the average national inflation rate is still way below the projected 4.5 to 5.5 percent level, due mostly to the slowdown in economic activities that normally creates an upward push on domestic prices. According to the BSP, the slight uptick in inflation in 2004 and 2005 would be due to the impact of improved output growth and aggregate demand conditions as well as the expected cost-push impact of factors such as the volatility in oil prices. www.newsflash.org /2003/05/hl/hl019498.htm   (577 words)

The recession of 1982 was Carter’s fault Many conservatives argue that impending changes in tax rates affect corporate behavior; for example, when the rich learned in 1986 that capital gains would be raised in 1987, they took all the appropriate counter-measures in 1986. Double-digit inflation was well on its way to being defeated by this time, and Reagan's tax cuts and deregulation policies were already in effect. There was a brief and unintentional recovery in 1981, so, with inflation still high, he tightened the money supply yet again, resulting in the unusually severe 1982 recession. www.huppi.com /kangaroo/L-recession1982.htm   (624 words)

business.iafrica.com business news 'Inflation rate may overshoot target' Mboweni did not signal whether rates would rise, but said monetary policy decisions would be "guided by the mandate to maintain CPIX inflation within the target range". While the rand was seen as a risk to the inflation outlook, Mboweni said the build-up of foreign exchange reserves would "contribute to rand strength and stability". Mboweni, whose contract as governor expires next month, said said in a speech at the University of Pretoria on Thursday that it was "conceivable" CPIX (consumer inflation excluding mortgage costs) could temporarily exceed the upper six percent target bracket towards the end of the year or early next year. business.iafrica.com /news/77858.htm   (429 words)

The inflation rate for a particular year is computed by taking the price index of that year minus the price index of the previous year, divided by the price index of the previous year, all multiplied by 100. The inflation rates computed here measure the annual rate of change of the cost of a bundle of goods and services a representative household bought in a base year.

The Steady Inflation Rate of Economic Growth We estimate the steady inflation rate of growth, denoted the SIRG, at a little over 4 percent p.a. Because import price inflation is more volatile than overall inflation, policy that targets overall inflation may require growth to fluctuate considerably, whereas growth can be steady if the target is steady inflation of domestic goods’ prices. Changes in inflation are modelled as a nonlinear combination of growth and changes in import price inflation. economics.anu.edu.au /staff/dungey/Abstracts/2000-4.htm   (140 words)

October inflation slows - Nov. 16, 2000 The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged for its fourth straight meeting Wednesday, but its continued concern about inflationary pressures stopped it from taking any steps towards a future interest rate cut. The core rate has stayed remarkably steady for the last year, coming in with a 0.2 percent increase in six of the last seven months, and 11 of the last 14. That suggests that while an acceleration of inflation is not imminent, there's not much sign of a lessening of prices as the economy slows. cnnfn.cnn.com /2000/11/16/economy/cpi   (849 words)
