Wage increases in excess of six per cent, inflationary dynamics and expectations.-. 330 $aThis book offers a comprehensive empirical analysis of South African inflation dynamics, using a variety of techniques including counterfactual analysis. The authors elaborate the roles in inflation of thresholds, nonlinearities and asymmetries introduced by economic conditions such as the size of exchange rate changes and volatility, GDP growth, inflation, output gap, credit growth, sovereign spreads and fiscal policy, providing new policy evidence on the impact of these. Ndou and Gumata apply techniques to determine the prevalence of updating inflation expectations, and reconsider the propagation effects of a number of inflation risk factors. Asking to what extent the evidence points to a need to enforce price stability and the anchoring of inflation expectation, the book fills existing gaps in South African Policy, and maintains a clear argument that price stability is consistent with the 3 to 6 per cent inflation target range, and that threshold application should form an important aspect of policy analysis in periods of macroeconomic uncertainty. As such, the book serves as an excellent reference text for academic and policy discussions alike. 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aEconomic growth 606 $aPublic finance 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aPublic Finance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/611000 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aEconomic growth. 615 0$aPublic finance. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 14$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aPublic Finance. 676 $a339 700 $aNdou$b Eliphas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0868702 702 $aGumata$b Nombulelo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255028203321 996 $aInflation Dynamics in South Africa$91939219 997 $aUNINA
