Quarterly Report on the Euro Area (QREA), Vol. 23, No. 4 (2024)

Given the continued prominence of inflation in the economic policy debate, this edition features two analytical chapters revolving around inflation. The first chapter analyses the persistence of services inflation. The second chapter discusses the channels through which inflation and the related policy response affect inequality. Finally, the third chapter analyses capital taxation in the euro area with a special focus on capital gains taxation and corporate income tax.

• Chapter I. The stickiness of services inflation in the euro area
• Chapter II. The distributional impact of high inflation and the related policy response
• Chapter III. Capital income taxation in the euro area 
• Annex. The euro area chronicle
