چکیده
Using sector-level survey data for the universe of Japanese firms, we establish positive co-movement in firm’s expectations about aggregate and sector-specific demand shocks. We show that a simple model with imperfect information on current components explains data. The predicts an increase relative volatility shocks compared to reduces sensitivity inflation changes demand. test corroborate theoretical prediction find observed decrease has played significant role decline movements from mid-1980s mid-2000s.

Imperfect Information and Inflation Expectations: Evidence from Microdata
We investigate the updating behavior of individual consumers regarding their shortand long-run inflation expectations. Utilizing the University of Michigan Survey of Consumer’s rotating panel microstructure, we can identify whether individuals adjust their inflation expectations over a period of six months. We find evidence that the updating frequency has been underestimated. Furthermore, looki...
متن کاملOil Price Shocks and Inflation
The historical record Figure 1 plots the price of oil relative to the core personal consumption expenditures price index (PCEPI) together with the core PCEPI inflation rate. (Core measures of inflation exclude food and energy prices.) The figure shows that the price of oil jumped sharply twice in the 1970s, as did inflation. But this relationship appears to have deteriorated over the latter par...
متن کاملUsing imperfect advance demand information in ordering and rationing decisions
In this paper, we consider an inventory problem with two demand classes having different priorities. The appropriate policy of rationing the available stock, i.e. reserving some stock for meeting prospective future demand of preferred customers at the expense of deliberately losing some of the currently materialized demand of lower demand class(es), relies on the estimation of the future demand...
متن کاملHeterogeneous dynamics, aggregation and the persistence of economic shocks
It has been recently emphasized that, if individuals have heterogeneous dynamics, estimates of shock persistence based on aggregate data are significatively higher than those derived from its disaggregate counterpart. However, a careful examination of the implications of this statement on the various tools routinely employed to measure persistence is missing in the literature. This paper formal...
