The Swaps Strike Back: Evaluating Expectations of One-Year Inflation

This study examines the forecasting performance of inflation swaps and survey-based expectations for one-year inflation.

When these periods are excluded, swaps have superior predictive ability. Our analysis suggests that ...

When it Rains it Pours: Cascading Uncertainty Shocks

We empirically document that serial uncertainty shocks are (1) common in the data and (2) have an increasingly stronger impact on the macroeconomy.

From a theoretical perspective, these findings are puzzling: existing benchmark models do not deliver the observed amplification. We show analytically that a state dependent precautionary motive with respect to uncertainty shocks is required. Our derivations suggest that the state dependent precautionary motive only shows up at fourth ...
