. Estimation uses 13,193 observations on quarterly US inflation forecasts since 1981. The main finding is a significantly larger … weight on expected future inflation than on past inflation, a finding which also is estimated with much more precision than … in the standard approach. Inflation dynamics also are stable over time, with no decline in inflation inertia from the …

We develop a theoretical framework to compare forecast uncertainty estimated from time series models to those available from survey density forecasts. The sum of the average variance of individual densities and the disagreement, which is the same as the variance of the aggregate density, is...

This paper introduces the reader into the apparatus behind the popularNew Keynesian Phillips (NKPC) curve. It derives several log-linear versionsof this curve and recursive formulations of the Calvo-Yun price staggeringmodel that is behind this curve. These formulations can be used for...
