Abstract: This paper presents estimates of expected inflation and the inflation risk premium in the euro area inferred from asset prices. A model is developed that exploits both nominal and real bond yields, corrects for market liquidity and anchors expected inflation using survey-based expectation, The resulting estimate of long-term expected inflation fluctuates over time and declines sensibly starting in late 2018. By contrast, expected inflation estimated using inflation swap yields remains roughly unchanged throughout the whole sample period.
