Analytical Corner: Are Household Inflation Expectations De-Anchoring?

|

Location: Cedar Hall, HQ1-1-660

OVERVIEW

The challenge of bringing down inflation will become much more formidable if inflation expectations de-anchor. The presentation asks whether shifts in distribution of household inflation expectations contain information about future US inflation. It also examines recent shifts in household inflation expectations in four major advanced economies – Canada, Germany, the US, and the UK – to assess whether the distributions of these expectations are changing in ways that could signal de-anchoring.
