We investigate the relationship between inflation uncertainty and monetary policy transmission in the U.S. economy. Monetary policy shocks are identified within the framework of nonlinear structural factor-augmented VARs which allow us to analyze several complementary hypotheses connecting IU...

Modern monetary policy focuses on credibility and shaping consumers' inflation expectations. According to the concept of inflation forecast targeting (IFT), inflation forecasts play a crucial role in the instrument rate decision-making process and may be a specific intermediate target. The aim...

The aim of this paper is to rely on a wide variety of forecasts and survey based estimates of inflationary expectations since the early 1990s for a group of 9 economies, 5 of which explicitly target inflation, and ask: To what extent are disagreements over forecasts of inflation driven by...

, with a contractionary shock leading to a downward revision of expectations. Second, we show that firms' response depends on … the size and the sign of the shock, with only large and contractionary shocks having a significant negative effect on … expectations. Third, we observe that the different components of central bank communication (i.e. the pure monetary policy shock …

This paper estimates a series of shocks to hit the US economy during the Great Depression, using a New Keynesian model with unemployment and bargaining frictions. Shocks to long-run inflation expectations appear to account for much of the cyclical behavior of employment, while an increase in...

We quantify spillovers of inflation expectations between the United States (US) and Euro Area (EA) based on break-even inflation (BEI) rates. In contrast to previous studies, we model US and EA BEI rates jointly in a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model. The SVAR approach allows to...

Empirical evidence following conventional tests suggests that inflation expectations in Colombia might not be rational, although the period of disinflation included in the sample makes it difficult to verify this conclusion. Inflation expectations display close ties with observed past and...
