Credibility and Targeting Expected Inflation
This paper evaluates inflation targeting in the context of recent theoretical developments concerning the issue of creditability. The first part of the paper argues that the problems of operational and political credibility inherent in a reputation based inflation targeting policy would be avoided by a rule based inflation expectation targeting policy. The second part of the paper demonstrates ...
متن کاملAn evaluation of the Survey of Professional Forecasters probability distributions of expected inflation and output growth
Regression-based tests of forecast probabilities of particular events of interest are constructed. The event forecast probabilities are derived from the SPF density forecasts of expected inflation and output growth. Tests of the event probabilities supplement statistically-based assessments of the forecast densities using the probability integral transform approach. The regression-based tests a...
متن کاملSurvey-Based Estimates of the Term Structure of Expected U.S. Inflation
Surveys provide direct information on expectations, but only short histories are available at quarterly frequencies or for long-horizon expectations. Longer histories typically contain only semi-annual observations of short-horizon forecasts. The authors fill in the gaps by constructing a 50-year monthly history of expected inflation at all horizons from one month to 10 years that is consistent...

The two main indicators of inflation in india are the wholesale price index (Wpi) and the consumer price index (cpi). Although the Wpi has traditionally been the most widely used measure for assessing ...

We consider whether survey respondents’probability distributions, reported as histograms, provide reliable and coherent point predictions, when viewed through the lens of a Bayesian learning model, and whether they are well calibrated more generally. We argue that a role remains for eliciting directly-reported point predictions in surveys of professional forecasters.
