CNB Workshop on Households’ Inflation Expectations

Measuring Households’ Inflation Expectations: Theory, Practice, Implications

Prague, 28 November 2024

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Czech National Bank, together with Anglo-American University and Charles University, will host a workshop on measuring inflation expectations in Prague on 28 November 2024. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas on the theory and practice of measuring households’ expectations, their potential use in inflation forecasting and nowcasting, calibrating structural macroeconomic models and implications for monetary policy in general. Therefore, we invite submissions of research papers that address, inter alia, the following topics:

• Theory and practice of measuring households’ expectations, including country case studies
• Heterogeneity of households’ inflation expectations
• Determinants of inflation expectations
• Implications for constructing and calibrating structural macroeconomic models
• The use of households’ inflation expectations for inflation forecasting and nowcasting

Please submit your draft paper to workshop@cnb.cz

The workshop will feature keynote speeches by Geoff Kenny (European Central Bank) and Michal Marenčák (National Bank of Slovakia).

The submission deadline is 30 September 2024.
Contributors will be notified by end-October 2024.

The conference will be held in person at the Czech National Bank in Prague, Czech Republic, and is organised with the financial support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic as part of project No. TQ01000396, titled “Survey of Short-Term and Long-Term Inflation Expectations of Czech Households.” Academic participants may ask to have economy class travel expenses and accommodation covered (both subject to price limits).
