We analyse the interaction between private agents? uncertainty about inflation target and the central bank's data … uncertainty. In our model, private agents update their perceived inflation target and the central bank estimates unobservable … economic shocks as well as the perceived inflation target. Under those two uncertainties, the learning process of both private …

This paper studies the behaviors of uncertainty through the lens of several popular models of expectation formation. The full-information rational expectations model (FIRE) predicts that both the ex ante uncertainty and the variance of ex post forecast errors are equal to the conditional...

With either sticky prices or sticky wages, a price path … target reduces the variance of inflation by an order of magnitude more than it increases the variability of the output gap …

In New Keynesian models favourable cost-push shocks lower inflation and increase output. Yet, when the central bank …'s inflation target is not perfectly observed these shocks turn contractionary as agents erroneously perceive a temporary reduction …

In an empirically rich model calibrated to match key features of the U.S. economy, we find that … the tail risk induced by the ELB causes inflation to undershoot the target rate of 2 percent by as much as 50 basis points …

We examine how the interaction between monetary policy and macroeconomic conditions affects inflation uncertainty in the … long-term. The unobservable inflation uncertainty is quantified by means of the slowly evolving long-term variance component … of inflation in the framework of the Spline-GARCH model (Engle and Rangel, 2008). For a cross-section of 13 developed …
