    Abstract

    We propose a novel approach for measuring inflation expectations, which can alleviate the rounding number problem. Furthermore, we examine how consumers form inflation expectations. We find that consumers heterogeneously update their information sets on prices; 46% of the consumers collect information about the consumer price index at least once a quarter, while the remaining consumers less frequently or never obtain this information. We also find that forecast revisions are sensitive to a change in food prices. More than half of consumers are attentive only to a change in food prices and may form their inflation expectations using food price changes as a signal of fluctuations in the overall inflation rates. The existence of consumers who are inattentive to aggregate inflation casts doubt on the transmission of monetary policy through the management of expectations.

     More details

    Publisher:Elsevier BV  

    This paper replicates Hakes and Sauer (2006) and reconsiders the Moneyball hypothesis to address the potential bias that should have been dealt with in past studies. We find that after the publication of Moneyball, the slugging average, which is widely accepted as one of the most common measures of batting skill, has the dominant effect on winning when compared to the factor that Moneyball considered important. After publication, the slugging average becomes undervalued in determining the payroll, probably because of Moneyball. The counter-evidence against Moneyball suggests that the payroll may have become less efficient than before Moneyball.

  • Inflation Expectations and Consumer Spending: Micro-data Evidence

    Junichi Kikuchi, Yoshiyuki Nakazono

    ESRI Discussion Paper Series   2020.7

     More details

    Authorship:Corresponding author  

    This study examines the relationship between inflation expectations and consumer spending. Using a combination of original consumer survey data on inflation expectations and scanner data on the actual expenditure, we examine whether higher inflation expectations generate greater current spending. The linked data also allows us to directly estimate the value of the elasticity of the intertemporal substitution (EIS) based on a standard macroeconomic model. We find that higher inflation expectations generate greater current spending compared with one year later. We find the value of the EIS significantly positive and approximately 0.1. On the other hand, liquidity-constrained consumers seem to decrease current expenditure in response to higher inflation expectations. This evidence implies that the impact of higher inflation expectations on consumers' intertemporal allocation may vary depending on the type of consumer.

  • To Swing or Not to Swing? Reference Point and Professional Baseball Players

    Koji Yashiki, Yoshiyuki Nakazono

    ESRI Discussion Paper   2020.7

     More details

    Authorship:Corresponding author  

    Does a batting average influence the decision whether or not to swing? We examine whether the decision whether to swing is influenced by a batting average by Japanese professional baseball players using the pitch-by-pitch data. We show that when the batting average is just 0.300, the probability to swing becomes significantly lower than when it is well above or below .300. The result suggests that a .300 batting average is considered as a reference point, which plays a central role in behavioral economics, for the professional baseball players and influences their attitudes toward risk.

  • Inflation Expectations and Monetary Policy under Disagreements

    Yoshiyuki Nakazono

    Bank of Japan Working Paper Series   2016.1

     More details

    Using a wide range of survey data on Japanese inflation outlook, this study examines two types of disagreements regarding inflation expectations and accordingly, presents monetary policy implications. The analysis reveals three key findings. First, information rigidities are determinants of crosssectional disagreement among not only households but also experts. Second, survey data indicate dissonance regarding the long-run forecasts of inflation rates between the central bank and economic entities, despite the adoption of a 2% inflation target in January 2013 and the introduction of an unconventional monetary policy (QQE) in April 2013. While short- and mid-term inflation forecasts by households are generally close to the 2% target rate, long-term forecasts fail to converge to the target level. Finally, under the two types of disagreements, the private sector&#039;s perception about a monetary policy stance does not significantly differ before and after the introduction of the inflation target and QQE. These findings suggest that the policy regime of the monetary policy dose not abruptly change on basis of perception; that is, there is no upheaval in the agents&#039; perception about a monetary policy stance enough to induce a regime change.<br />

    This research project uses large-scale private-sector big data to reveal heterogeneous macroeconomic dynamics across households. First, we find that households' inflation expectations respond to changes in the prices of goods they purchase regularly. Second, we find that households increase their current consumption when inflation expectations rise. Third, we find that households reduce their consumption levels by more than 2% at retirement and that this decline persists for at least two years. The results suggest that the use of private-sector big data may provide an opportunity to open new avenues for economics research.

Second, we show that information advantage in Federal Reserve disappears after the publication of implicit inflation targets. Third, we present that inflation expectation formation is less relevant for optimal monetary policy and expectation formation matters for Taylor rule or price-level targeting rule. In other words, policy effectiveness significantly changes in Japan by expectation formation.

    This research examines evaluates the effects of unconventional monetary policies adopted by the Bank of Japan from the year 2001 to 2006. A new measure is proposed to identify a nontraditional monetary policy shock from policy packages under the zero lower bound of short-term nominal interest rates during the quantitative easing period, using data on intraday three-month Euroyen futures rates. We find that stock markets do not react to a policy surprise in an expected manner and negatively respond to a monetary easing surprise. Moreover, we find an asymmetric response during a boom and a recession and a nonlinear reaction because of increasing uncertainty concerning future inflation dynamics and the enhancement of monetary policy transparency. Our result suggests that it is difficult to implement unconventional monetary policy to manage agents’ expectations and a “lean against the wind” policy to prevent asset bubbles, particularly at the zero bound.

    2012年度も、前年度に引き続き、計画通りに研究を進めることができた。研究実施状況を、下記の通り、論文執筆、及び学会発表状況別にまとめる。
    本年度は計5つの論文が公刊された。市場参加者の期待形成が持つ特徴について分析した、Nakazono(2011)、Fujiwara, Ichiue, Nakazono, and Shigemi(2012)では、市場参加者の期待形成は必ずしも合理的ではないこと、市場参加者は同質的ではなく異質的であること、市場参加者の期待形成は金融市場の状況次第で変化しうることを等が示された。Nakazono(2012)はApplied Financial Economicsに、Fujiwara, Ichiue, Nakazono, and Shigemi(2012)はEconomics Lettersにそれぞれ公刊された。
    市場参加者の形成した期待が実体経済に与える影響については、Nakazono(2012)、Nakazono et ak. (2012)において、経済主体が形成した期待が自己実現的な性質を持つ可能性が指摘された。さらにNakazono and Ueda(2011)では、金融政策が人々の期待に与える影響を分析され、日本銀行によって採用されたコミットメント政策が、市場参加者の予測に影響を与えたことが定量的に示された。
    Nakazono(2013)はWaseda Economic Studiesに公刊が決まり、Nakazono and Ueda(2013)はJapan and the World Economyに公刊された。
    また、一般向けに研究成果を公表すべく、期待形成をめぐる実証研究のサーベイ論文も執筆した。このサーベイ論文は、中園(2013)「期待形成をめぐる実証研究:マクロ・金融変数の予測の特徴」(田中愛治(監修)永田良、船木由喜彦(編集)『リーディングス政治経済学への数理的アプローチ』)に収録されている。
    2012年度も引き続き、研究成果を内外の学会で報告した。2012年度の発表回数は、日本経済学会で2回、行動経済学会で1回、農林中央金庫主催のセミナーで1回、香港経済学会が主催する国際学会で1回、ワークショップで2回、合計7回であった.
