Himino

The 2 major questions were Response of Wages to a 1% Increase in Prices and Response of Prices to a 1% Increase in Wages.

Wages at 0.0056 to Inflation at 0.14 = 3.99% and at a 1% increase = 0.03 and -74%. A 1% increase of 0.0056 = 0.00056 Vs 0.14 Inflation = + 249900 %.

In the fine print and stated by Himino, . The bands indicate the 75 percent confidence intervals, while the broken lines indicate that the results are not statistically significant.  Yet the BOJ employed output gap, nominal wages, and the CPI (less fresh food).
