A time-varying-coefficient model, where all the parameters adjust simultaneously, shows that the behaviour of expectations was probably a major contributing factor. A decrease in the value of the coefficient on the first difference of the output gap also seems to have influenced the observed pattern of inflation. Finally, pass-through of relative price shocks into domestic prices is shown to have been low since 1983.}, url = {http://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/869}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.34989/swp-2001-4}, }
