Eurozone deflation?

Eurozone deflation? This isn't a surprise to anyone who has been following this blog.

Here are some updated graphs for the Eurozone (I think I mess up the Eurozone/EU terminology frequently ... one refers to the currency area, the other a political union). First graph is the model calculation, the second is the smoothed version with predicted values.



Why do we neglect 500 € notes? See here. However it doesn't make a large difference on this time scale. Note that this EU number is a weighted average over the different countries, so e.g. España está sufriendo el desinflamiento (see e.g. here).

    I'd like to note I've been predicting near zero inflation for the Eurozone since November 2013 (per the second link in the post above). That is over a year in advance!

Also, try to avoid the use of dollar signs as they interfere with my setup of mathjax. I left it set up that way because I think this is funny for an economics blog. You can use € or £ instead.
