Pronosticar la inflación de alimentos es uno de los grandes retos del Banco central, debido a la alta ponderación de los alimentos dentro del IPC y puesto que los rubros que conforman este grupo obedecen principalmente a factores de oferta que no son fácilmente predecibles ni reaccionan a la...

For decades, the academic literature has focused on three survey measures of expected inflation: the Livingston Survey, the Survey of Professional Forecasters, and the Michigan Survey. While these measures have been useful in developing models of forecasting inflation, the data are low frequency...

I present evidence that higher frequency measures of inflation expectations outperform lower frequency measures of inflation expectations in tests of accuracy, predictive power, and rationality. For decades, the academic literature has focused on three survey measures of expected inflation: the...

Using the panel component of the Michigan Survey of Consumers, we show that individuals, in particular women and ethnic minorities, are highly heterogeneous in their expectations of inflation. We estimate a model of inflation expectations based on learning from experience that also allows for...

I present evidence of systematically heterogeneous expectations, a violation of the Rational Expectations Hypothesis. I demonstrate that the expectations of different gender and wealth cohorts have different relative abilities to predict inflation, interest rates, unemployment, income, stock...

En este documento se desarrolla una exploración empírica sobre la información contenida en las expectativas de inflación obtenidas tanto directa (a través de encuestas) como indirectamente (implícitas en el mercado de deuda pública). Para esto, se realizan pruebas de insesgamiento y...
