CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""References""; ""Appendix. Further Empirical Results"" 330 3 $aAdequate modeling of the seasonal structure of consumer prices is essential for inflation forecasting. This paper suggests a new econometric approach for jointly determining inflation forecasts and monetary policy stances, particularly where seasonal fluctuations of economic activity and prices are pronounced. In an application of the framework, the paper characterizes and investigates the stability of the seasonal pattern of consumer prices in the Kyrgyz Republic and estimates optimal money growth and implied exchange rate paths along with a jointly determined inflation forecast. The approach uses two broad specifications of an augmented error-correction model-with and without seasonal components. Findings from the paper confirm empirical superiority (in terms of information content and contributions to policymaking) of augmented error-correction models of inflation over single-equation, Box-Jenkins-type general autoregressive seasonal models. Simulations of the estimated errorcorrection models yield optimal monetary policy paths for achieving inflation targets and demonstrate the empirical significance of seasonality and monetary policy in inflation forecasting. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/175 606 $aInflation (Finance)$xForecasting 606 $aMonetary policy 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aForecasting$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aForecasting and Other Model Applications$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aEconomic Forecasting$2imf 606 $aConsumer prices$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 606 $aConsumer price indexes$2imf 606 $aEconomic forecasting$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aPrice indexes$2imf 607 $aKyrgyz Republic$2imf 615 0$aInflation (Finance)$xForecasting. 615 0$aMonetary policy. 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aForecasting 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aForecasting and Other Model Applications 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aEconomic Forecasting 615 7$aConsumer prices 615 7$aExchange rates 615 7$aConsumer price indexes 615 7$aEconomic forecasting 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aPrice indexes 700 $aKumah$b Francis$01570946 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788518403321 996 $aThe Role of Seasonality and Monetary Policy in Inflation Forecasting$93844934 997 $aUNINA
