Abstract

There is no consensus about the causes of the reduction in business cycle volatility seen in many major economies over the last decade. Using stylised models of the economies of the US, Euro area, UK and Japan, we argue that economic stability has been fostered by improved monetary policy and by associated changes in the behaviour of inflation, which has itself led to a reduction in the volatility of economic shocks. Our projections suggest that a number of major economies could continue to enjoy an unusual degree of stability, granted average luck and current institutions. (JEL E3, E52, F01)
