How Stable are Inflation Expectations in the Euro Area? Evidence from the Euro-Area Financial Markets
Abstract: We analyze evolution of inflation expectations in the euro area (EA) using a novel measure of inflation expectations implied by the French nominal and inflation-indexed bonds. Overall, we find that EA inflation expectations have been relatively well anchored in the 2004 -- 2019 sample but have been somewhat sensitive to the incoming macroeconomic news and monetary policy shocks in the sample that includes the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results are robust with respect to the use of different inflation-indexed securities data, such as the EA inflation-linked swaps.
