Could someone recommend some papers or books on Inflation? I know nothing about it, so I need some accessible ones. Thx.

Inflation refers to the overall increase in prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. It is important because it affects the purchasing power of individuals and can have a significant impact on economic growth and stability.
Some good introductory papers on inflation include "Understanding Inflation: A Primer" by Alan Blinder and "Inflation: Causes and Consequences" by Robert J. Barro. For books, "Inflation: Causes, Consequences, and Cures" by Peter J. Montiel and "Inflation and the Theory of Money" by David Laidler are highly recommended.
Yes, "The Inflation Outlook and Targeting Frameworks in Advanced and Emerging Market Economies" by Laurence M. Ball and "Inflation in Emerging and Developing Economies: Evolution, Drivers, and Policies" by Prakash Loungani and Martin Sommer are both recent papers that discuss the current state of inflation in different regions.
Yes, "The Causes of Inflation" by Robert E. Hall and "Inflation and Unemployment: Contributions to a New Macroeconomic Approach" by Edmund S. Phelps are both highly regarded works that delve into the causes of inflation.
"The End of Inflation: Solutions to Monetary and Fiscal Problems" by Robert E. Hall and "Controlling Inflation: A Blueprint for Monetary Policy" by Guido Tabellini are both recommended reads for understanding and implementing solutions for controlling inflation.
