Statistical analysis of models of inflation in Iceland by
Models of Icelandic inflation with unit labour costs and import prices as independent variables explained more than 80 % of the variance of quarterly inflation values before 1990. After that, inflation and its variability decreased and such models explained less than 60 % of the observed variations....
