''The Central Bank Inflation Bias in the Presence of Asymmetric Preferences and Non-Normal Shocks''
( 2009, Vol. 29 No.3 )
 
 
We investigate the nature of the inflation bias in a model that exhibits asymmetries in preferences and non–normality in shocks but simplifies to the classic Barro-Gordon problem as a special case. The inflation bias is shown to depend on the trade-off between preference, structural and the scale and shape parameters of the model.
