This study contributes to the empirical inflation literature by identifying both short run and long run effects of the exchange rate and output gap volatility and output gap together, as well as by providing evidence about the structure of the shocks created by these variables on inflation volatility. This study also identifies the sources of temporary and permanent shocks of inflation volatility.
