Abstract
We empirically investigate inflation uncertainty effects on output growth for the US by implementing a Markov regime switching model as we account for endogeneity problems. We show that inflation uncertainty -obtained from a Markov regime switching GARCH model - has a negative and regime dependent impact on output growth. Moreover, we find that the smooth probability of high growth regime falls long before the recent financial crisis was imminent. This might be driven by a regime dependent causality, an issue which has been left unexplored.
