Inflation:Noise,Risk,and Expectations\n\nJoseph G.Haubrich and Timothy Bianco  \nThe most frequently cited measures of inflation expectations,from TIPSderived indicators to survey-based estimateslike Blue Chip forecasts,have some inherent limitations when it comes to applying them to questions of monetarypolicy.Recently,researchers developed a model that takes information from a number of sources and produc-es estimates of inflation expectations that are superior to these popular measures in a number of respects.ThisCommentary explains how these estimates are better and w²t they imply for current monetary policy.  \nIf people expect high inflation,their actions can drive upprices even faster.That is why the Federal Reserve,with amandate for price stability,pays attention to expectations ofinflation.Determining what people expect,though,presentsmore of a challenge than counting the unsold Hondas on adealcr's lot.There are useful measures,some based on mar-ket instruments,some based on surveys,but often combin-ing tools produces the most useful information.  \nSurveys,such as the University of Michigan's Survey ofConsumer Attitudes and Behavior or the Blue Chip Sur-vey,directly ask people about their expectations.But theseexpectations are often only available for standard timehorizons,such as 1 or 10 years,when the relevant policyquestions might concern two,three,or six years.The mostwatched market-based measure,the “break-even”ratederived from Treasury inflation protected securities(TIPS),uses the difference between the interest rates on a nominalTreasury bond (that is,one not indexed to inflation)anda TIPS.It too is available only at selected horizons,and italso picks up differences between the bonds that don't haveanything to do with inflation,such as liquidity and risk.  \nAs one way to get around these problems,researchers af-filiated with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland havedeveloped a mode that combines data from nominal interestrates,derivatives known as inflation swaps,and two differ-ent survey measures of inflation.(For more detail,see “ANew Approach to Gauging Inflation Expectations,\"FederalReserve Bank of Cleveland,Economic Commentary,August2009.)This Commentary explains how the output of the modelgives us cleaner,more useful estimates of inflation expecta-tions and inflation risk,and what those expectations mightimply for monetary policy.  \nNumber 2010-5  \nJune 28,2010  \n## Expected Inflation\n\nThe Cleveland Fed model of inflation expectations providesa simple measure of expected inflation that has two advan-tages over the break-even rate derived from TIPS.The firstis that the measure is adjusted for the inflation risk premium.Because people don't like the risk associated with inflation,they pay less for a nominal,unprotected bond,which meansit has a higher interest rate.Thus the difference betweennominal bonds and TIPS overstates the expected infationrate.Because the model does not use the difference betweenTIPS and Treasuries,it does not capture liquidity differ-ences along with inflation expectations.  \nFigure 1 shows the model's estimate of 10-year expectedinflation.Expectations show a gradual decline from theearly 1980s to about 2003,after which they Huctuate in theneighborhood just north of 2 percent.The financial crisiscoincided with very low expectations.Despite a rebound ineconomic activity since the beginning of 2009,expected in-fation remains very low by historical standards,a bit below2 percent.Swiftly rising expectations could indicate a FederalReserve that had fallen “behind the curve”in fighting infla-tion-resulting in a need to tighten fast and furious-but thatdoesn't look like the situation we are in.  \n## Inllation Risk\n\nAdjusting for the inflation risk premium has an ancillaryadvantage:the model explicitly estimates the risk premium,producing a piece of information not readily availablefrom either surveys or the TIPS spread.The risk premiummeasures how worried people are about infation ending ups","cbCairJUpwS9NFlE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairJUpwS9NFlE","pdf",1184663,"English","# Expected Inflation\n##
