We analyze the formation of individual inflation expectations in three steps.
If the public expects a negative shock, then the public's inflation expectations are below the uninformed central bank's inflation expectations.
The right side shows the inflation expectations of the public depending on the announced target.
The subjective devaluation probabilities influence the inflation expectations, which, in turn, affect the next-period wage level and unemployment.
In fact, under adaptive learning, sophisticated central banking implies a persistent policy response when inflation expectations threaten to become unhinged.
In the first, the central banker perceives no influence of his policy actions on inflation expectations and on the way they are formed.
First, central bankers gain more direct insight into inflation expectations.
Such simplifying assumption avoids simultaneity of current inflation and inflation expectations.
Beyond just providing higher-quality information about inflation expectations, there is a greater quantity of information because there is a complete term structure of inflation expectations.
Optimal policy deliberately opens a significant output gap in order to anchor inflation and inflation expectations.
But, in this case, inflation expectations are 2 higher than actual inflation.
Since expectations are, on average, unbiased, inflation expectations now overreact and generate an amount of inflation that creates a demand slump in future periods.
While inflation expectations will be adjusted up or down according to the anticipated policies of the monetary authority, real wage behaviour will not be affected.
Such policy response helps to anchor inflation and inflation expectations contributing to greater overall stability of inflation and economic activity.
The subjective devaluation probabilities influence the inflation expectations, which, in turn, affect the following-period (average) wage level and hence unemployment.
This implies that has to be large to support inflation expectations.
The money growth rate is persistent, so a positive shock to it tends to increase inflation expectations and hence the nominal interest rate.
Rational inflation expectations would not give rise a sustained sequence of one-sided forecast errors.
Then the public forms inflation expectations based on the announcement and locks into nominal contracts for the remainder of the period.
