摘要
We estimate a time-varying parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) with stochastic volatility using U.S. data to study the effects of uncertainty shocks on inflation. We find the response of inflation to be negative in the post-WWII period. Our findings suggest that uncertainty shocks propagate like aggregate demand shocks and not like aggregate supply shocks.
