Frequency bias in consumers' perceptions of inflation: An experimental study
We investigate whether the perception of economy-wide inflation is affected by the frequency with which various goods' prices are observed. We provide novel experimental evidence that consumers' perceptions of aggregate inflation are systematically biased toward the perceived inflation rates of the frequently purchased items. This ‘frequency bias’ may affect consumers’ consumption and investmen...
متن کاملOn quality bias and inflation targets
This paper studies whether the central bank should adjust its inflation target to account for the systematic upward bias in measured inflation due to quality improvements in consumption goods. We show that the answer to this question depends on what prices are assumed to be sticky. If nonquality-adjusted prices are assumed to be sticky, then the inflation target should not be corrected. If, on ...
متن کاملScale-dependent bias from multiple-field inflation
We provide a formula for the scaling behaviour of the inflationary bispectrum in the ‘squeezed’ limit where one momentum becomes much smaller than the other two. This determines the scaling of the halo bias at low wavenumber and will be an important observable for the next generation of galaxy surveys. Our formula allows it to be predicted for the first time for a generic inflationary model wit...
متن کاملInflation Bias, Time Inconsistency of Monetary and Fiscal Policies and Institutional Quality
In developing countries, weak institutional quality can increase the probability of applying discretionary policies and can have a great impact on their double-digit inflation. Surico (2008) calculated inflation bias, but he considered just monetary policy and he did not pay attention to the institutions. Therefore, we design a model which considers the discretion in monetary and fiscal policie...
متن کاملFace Recognition, Musical Appraisal, and Emotional Crossmodal Bias
Recent research on the crossmodal integration of visual and auditory perception suggests that evaluations of emotional information in one sensory modality may tend toward the emotional value generated in another sensory modality. This implies that the emotions elicited by musical stimuli can influence the perception of emotional stimuli presented in other sensory modalities, through a top-down ...
