What it isSome of the items that make up the Consumer Price Index change prices frequently, while others are slow to change.
How it's calculatedAtlanta Fed uses the published components of the CPI to compute two subindexes, a sticky-price composite of the CPI and a flexible-price CPI.
Market implicationssticky prices appear to incorporate expectations about future infl ation to a greater degree than prices that change on a frequent basis, while fl exible prices respond more powerfully to economic conditions
LimitationsFed does not claim that the sticky-price Phillips curve produces a demonstrably better forecast of the CPI—given its simplicity.
