Exhibit 2

The FRB/US Model of Inflation Dynamics

•

•

Bt = $ Bt-1 + (1-$) Bte - ( (Ut - Utn) + relative price shocks + unit labor costs
B

=

rate of price inflation

Be

=

expected rate of price inflation

U

=

unemployment rate

Un

=

natural rate of unemployment

$, (

=

coefficients

B e reflects knowledge of the structure of the economy, including the conduct of
monetary policy.

•

How do our factors fit in this model?
< Changes in the conduct of monetary policy alter the influence of U on

B e.

< Changes in labor productivity growth affect inflation through unit labor costs.
< Labor market developments shift U n.

•

Movements of (U - U n) explain about 20 percent of the variation of year-to-year
changes in inflation.
