1 Inflation Differentials in Europe Balázs Égert Economics Department, OECD

2 Objectives of the presentation Different factors driving inflation rates in Europe Differences between mature and catching-up countries

3 Balassa-Samuelson Puzzle I. Large productivity gains in the tradable sector and yet low Balassa- Samuelson effect in the CPI

4 The Balassa-Samuelson Puzzle 10 8 B-S effect inflation inflation Czech Republic Estonia Latvia Lithuania Hungary Poland Slovenia Slovakia Bulgaria Romania Source: based on Égert, Halpern and MacDonald (2005)

5 Balassa-Samuelson Puzzle II. Large literature showing low B-S effect and yet policymakers still argue in terms of the Balassa-Samuelson effect

6 The Balassa-Samuelson Puzzle 4 elements of the puzzle

7 The Balassa-Samuelson Puzzle Large dispersion of productivity gains in tradables Productivity <->Wages Incomplete wage equalization Large productivity gains in nontradables Low share of market-based nontradables in the CPI

8 Large Dispersion of Productivity Growth in Manufacturing Figure 6.

9 The Balassa-Samuelson Puzzle Large dispersion of productivity gains in tradables Productivity <->Wages Incomplete wage equalization Large productivity gains in nontradables Low share of market-based nontradables in the CPI

16 Implications For the inflation rate For the real exchange rate

17 Structural factors Services/nontradable goods The usual suspect: Balassa- Samuelson Administered/regulated prices Residential property prices Tradable goods prices

18 Structural factors Services/nontradable goods The usual suspect: Balassa- Samuelson Administered/regulated prices Residential property prices Tradable goods prices

19 Structural factors Services/nontradable goods The usual suspect: Balassa- Samuelson Administered/regulated prices Residential property prices Tradable goods prices

20 Structural factors Services/nontradable goods The usual suspect: Balassa- Samuelson Administered/regulated prices Residential property prices Tradable goods prices

21 Tradable Goods Quality increases Extension of Engel s Law: richer households consume goods of better quality than poorer household; Real convergence => higher share of goods of higher quality => higher price

22 Tradable Goods Quality increases same good example (from 2005): cherry tomato (origin Israel) Hungary: 250g, 119 HUF ( EUR); 2. class Austria: 250g, EUR; 1. class

23 Pricing-to-Market Practices => cars (very homogenous goods) Figure 12.
