Price and Inflation Expectations: Methods and Forecasting
The recent surge of prices due to the COVID pandemic and energy price shocks put inflation and inflation expectations at the center of economic policy discussions. At the same time, inflation expectations are also invoked to gauge the credibility of central bank’s monetary policies. Economic tendency surveys and indicators derived from market data are instruments to provide information on price dynamics and inflation expectations.
Can these instruments help to forecast inflation? What are the appropriate economic approaches? What other types of data are helpful? Do these data help to understand inflation dynamics in real time? What kind of biases are relevant when interpreting inflation expectation data?
These are the challenging questions of the special topic at the 37th CIRET conference.
