Expectations of inflation: the biasing effect of thoughts about specific prices
Van der Klaauw, Wilbert; Topa, Giorgio; Bruine de Bruin, Wändi (2011)
National surveys follow consumers' expectations of future inflation, because they may directly affect the economic choices they make, indirectly affect macroeconomic outcomes, and be considered in monetary policy. Yet relatively little is known about how individuals form the inflation expectations they report on consumer surveys.
