An econometric analysis on survey-data-based anchoring of inflation expectations in Chile

To what extent are inflation expectations of public agents anchored to the Central Bank of Chile’s (CBC) inflation target? In this note, I perform several econometric testing procedures in an attempt to answer this question. Expectations’ anchoring is understood as another central bank instrument, i...
