Abstract

[fre] Alors que les perspectives d’inflation aux États-Unis donnent lieu à des avis divergents, cette étude conduit à écarter à la fois le risque de déflation et celui de « spirale inflationniste ». Malgré de fortes fluctuations des prix de l’énergie ces derniers mois, leur effet d’entraînement sur les autres prix et les salaires paraît limité aux États-Unis. Une décomposition et une modélisation par secteurs (biens, logement, services hors logement) de l’inflation sous-jacente permet de prévoir une évolution des prix modérée en 2011 et 2012. Ce résultat contribue à mieux comprendre la politique monétaire particulièrement accommodante de la Fed et à relativiser, compte tenu de son mandat, les critiques dont elle fait l’objet. [eng] While opinions differ over the inflation outlook in the United States, this study dismisses both the risk of deflation and that of an “ inflationary spiral ”. Although energy prices have fluctuated widely in recent months, their spillover effects on prices and wages in the United States appears to be limited. Abreakdown and a modeling of underlying inflation by sector (goods, housing, and non-housing services) point to moderate price changes in 2011 and 2012. This finding yields insight into the Fed’s highly accommodating monetary policy, while putting criticisms of this policy into perspective, given the Fed’s mandate.
