The Missing Links: Better Measures of Inflation and Inflation Expectations in Canada

Gregor Smith

C.D. Howe Institute Commentary, 2009, issue 287

The overall performance of monetary policy would be improved if new measures of inflation and inflation expectations were incorporated into the Bank of Canada’s inflation-targeting regime, when it comes up for review in 2011.
