Linking Individual and Aggregate Price Changes
Attila Rátfai†
Central European University
May 2003
Abstract
This paper develops an empirical model of price setting designed to capture the deviation
between the target and the actual price, and applies it to a unique panel data set of store level
retail prices. The aggregation of price deviations reveals that fluctuations in the shape of the
cross-sectional density of price deviations convey extra information on inflation dynamics.
Asymmetry in the density particularly matters. Idiosyncratic shocks alter the size but not the
direction of inflation fluctuations.
Key words: Inflation, (S,s) Pricing, Microeconomic Data, Simulated Maximum Likelihood
