The authors elaborate the roles in inflation of thresholds, nonlinearities and asymmetries introduced by economic conditions such as the size of exchange rate changes and volatility, GDP growth, inflation, output gap, credit growth, sovereign spreads and fiscal policy, providing new policy evidence on the impact of these. Ndou and Gumata apply techniques to determine the prevalence of updating inflation expectations, and reconsider the propagation effects of a number of inflation risk factors. Asking to what extent the evidence points to a need to enforce price stability and the anchoring of inflation expectation, the book fills existing gaps in South African Policy, and maintains a clear argument that price stability is consistent with the 3 to 6 per cent inflation target range, and that threshold application should form an important aspect of policy analysis in periods of macroeconomic uncertainty. As such, the book serves as an excellent reference text for academic and policy discussions alike. 000779714 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000779714 650_0 $$aInflation (Finance)$$zSouth Africa. 000779714 7001_ $$aGumata, Nombulelo,$$eauthor. 000779714 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319467018$$z9783319467016$$w(OCoLC)957133897 000779714 852__ $$bebk 000779714 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-46702-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000779714 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:779714$$pGLOBAL_SET 000779714 980__ $$aEBOOK 000779714 980__ $$aBIB 000779714 982__ $$aEbook 000779714 983__ $$aOnline 000779714 994__ $$a92$$bISE
