Inflation Expectations

  • Fascinating chart from BIS on how survey inflation expectations shift over time.
  • As they say – first you get skewness, then variance, then both decline and the mean shifts.
  • Temporary shocks become persistent in expectations.
  • This happened in 1960s into 1970s in the US and 2010s in Brazil (see page 11 of deck).
