Reactions of Household Inflation Expectations to a Symmetric Inflation Target and High Inflation
We examine how households' euro‐area inflation expectations reacted to the ECB's adoption of a symmetric inflation target in July 2021, and the subsequent inflation surge. Using a randomised control trial within a monthly representative survey, we elicit short‐ and long‐term inflation expectations. We find that the ECB's strategy announcement had no material effect on expectations. In contrast, the sharp rise in actual inflation significantly rai…
Consumption Uncertainty and Precautionary Saving
Using survey data from a representative sample of Dutch households, we estimate the strength of precautionary saving by eliciting subjective expectations on future consumption. Expected consumption risk is positively correlated with self-employment and income risk and negatively with age. We insert these subjective expectations (rather than consumption realizations, as in the existing literature) in an Euler equation for consumption and estimate …
Asymmetric Consumption Effects of Transitory Income Shocks
We use the responses of a representative sample of Dutch households to survey questions that ask how much their consumption would change in response to unexpected, transitory income shocks (positive or negative). The questionnaire also distinguishes between relatively small income changes (a one-month increase or drop in income), and relatively larger ones (equal to three-months' income). The results are broadly in line with models of intertempor…
