Whose expectations augment the Phillips curve?

Carola Binder

Economics Letters, 2015, vol. 136, issue C, 35-38

Abstract: This letter uses consumer survey data to estimate expectations-augmented Phillips curves with inflation expectations disaggregated by socioeconomic and demographic groups. The inflation expectations of high-income, college-educated, male, and working-age people play a larger role in inflation dynamics than do the expectations of other groups of consumers or of professional forecasters.
