The rational expectations hypothesis for survey and model-based inflation forecasts − from the Survey of Professional … nearunit-root effects in inflation and inflation expectations motivates the use of a local-tounity specification of the … inflation process that enables us to test whether the data are generated by locally non-stationary or stationary processes.

Inflation expectations are key to economic activity, and in the current economic climate of a heated labor market, they … therefore individual behavior, may not be sensitive to changes in inflation when it is low. This paper explores evidence of such … inflation expectations. Exploring inflation thresholds of 2, 3, and 4 percent, our findings are consistent with the inattention …

Understanding the sources of inflation persistence is crucial for monetary policy.

We construct a novel index of … inflation expectations' anchoring using survey-based inflation forecasts for 45 economies starting in 1989. We then study the …

A … key advantage of this approach is that it provides a causal interpretation in terms of how inflation events affect long …
