Third conference on expectations surveys
Joint conference of the Bank of Canada, the European Central Bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Thursday, 13 and Friday, 14 October 2022
Hybrid event: Federal Reserve Bank and online
The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars to present their current research involving expectations surveys.
Over the past decade, researchers and central banks have started to collect survey data on expectations from consumers, economists, professional forecasters, and firms. These surveys provide insights into how economic agents form and update their expectations, the heterogeneity and biases in these expectations, and how these expectations feed into economic decisions that can have wide implications for the economy and for monetary policy. The conference program will feature two plenary keynote sessions by Francesca Molinari (Cornell University) and Orazio Attanasio (Yale University).
