Barrie & Hibbert have introduced an inflation ‘wedge’ model, providing modelling of specific inflation rates alongside the headline rate. We have developed calibrations for a number of indices, including US medical cost inflation and individual-country inflation rates within the Eurozone. The model is incorporated within the P&C ESG software. This note provides a summary of the model and its benefits and describes circumstances in which it should be used.
