We propose a DSGE model with regime switching in the central bank's inflation target to explain inflation compensation … in the UK. Taking advantage of the well-documented change in UK monetary policy to adopt inflation targeting, we estimate … our model using nominal and inflation-linked Treasury bond data from the UK from 1985 to 2007. We find that this model can …

cyclical movements in Treasury bond premia. Downward nominal rigidities create state-dependence in output and inflation … dynamics: a higher level of inflation makes prices more flexible, leading output and inflation to be more volatile, and bonds … to become more risky. The model matches well the relation between the level of inflation and a number of salient macro …

inflation expectations and risk premia. This entails jointly pricing and decomposing nominal and real UK yields. We find … evidence that medium- and long-term inflation expectations are contained within narrower bounds since the early 1990s …, suggesting monetary policy credibility improved after the introduction of inflation targeting. …

consider the implications of a risk premium that arises from endogenous market segmentation driven by variable inflation rates …. In the absence of autocorrelation in inflation, the risk premium is constant. If inflation is correlated, however, the …

Inflation expectation is acknowledged to be an important indicator for policy makers and financial investors. To … capture a more accurate real-time estimate of inflation expectation on the basis of financial markets, we propose an arbitrage …-free model across different countries in a multi-maturity term structure, where we first estimate inflation expectation by …

structure reflects changing expectations of future yields and inflation. This analysis shows that the presence of time … less than five years. By contrast, variations in inflation expected over the next two to three years are very accurately … term structures closely track changing expectations regarding future nominal and real yields but not future inflation …

of total inflation to price nominal Treasuries. This approach captures different frequencies in inflation fluctuations … a common structure of latent factors determines and predicts the term structure of yields and inflation. The model … outperforms popular benchmarks and is at par with the Survey of Professional Forecasters in forecasting inflation. Real rates …

This paper examines the information content of inflation forecasts derived using index-linked and conventional bonds …. The paper finds that the derived inflation term structure (ITS) gives a somewhat better indication of the bond market …'s inflation expectation than can be derived using either the nominal term structure or a variant employing strong assumptions …
