Title: What we are learning about firms' inflation expectations
Authors: Brent Meyer - Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (United States) [presenting]
Abstract: Utilizing the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's business inflation expectations (BIE) survey, which has been continuously collecting subjective probability distributions over own-firm future unit costs on a monthly basis since October 2011, the relationship is investigated between own-firm unit costs with aggregate inflation statistics and aggregate inflation expectations. Of particular interest is the evolution of these expectations during the recent pandemic and in high and low inflation environments, and how these data are being used to help inform monetary policy deliberations at the Atlanta Fed.
