The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between inflation and
inflation uncertainty in the Serbian economy, being particularly vulnerable to shocks in
inflation rate, during transition period 2001 – 2007. Based on monthly data several
GARCH specifications are estimated to provide the measure for inflation uncertainty.
Derived variables are then included into VAR model to test for Granger-causality
between inflation and its uncertainty. Models that consider only permanent and transitory
components of prices are also estimated to investigate the inflation-uncertainty
relationship in the long and in the short run. The main conclusion of the paper is that high
inflation invokes high uncertainty, while high uncertainty negatively affects the level of
inflation at long horizon.
