“…Although there is clear evidence supporting a timevarying anchoring of inflation expectations, most previous empirical studies assume an intrinsically constant degree of anchoring, e.g., Beechey, Johannsen and Levin (2011). A time-varying anchoring of inflation expectations is estimated in certain studies through regime-dependent constant parameter models (Nautz, Pagenhardt & Strohsal, 2017) and time-varying parameter models (Demertzis, Marcellino & Viegi, 2012;Strohsal, Melnick & Nautz, 2016). Nevertheless, the possibility that the linkage between short-and long-term inflation expectations changes across frequency bands or, loosely speaking, 'time intervals' is rarely discussed.…”
