The curiously different inflation perspectives of men and women

Michael F. Bryan and Guhan Venkatu

Economic Commentary, 2001, issue Nov

Abstract: That men and women occasionally see things differently is not a remarkable observation. But that the sexes could report vastly different perspectives on the rate at which prices are rising over a long period of time is astonishing. This Commentary describes the difference in inflation sentiment held by men and women ? a puzzle that may hold the key to interpreting survey-based data on household inflation expectations.
