RBI Working Paper No. 02/2022: Taking Cognisance of Households Inflation Expectations in India
January, 12th 2022

Today the Reserve Bank of India placed on its website a Working Paper titled “Taking Cognisance of Households’ Inflation Expectations in India” under the Reserve Bank of India Working Paper Series1. The Paper is authored by Devendra Pratap Singh, Aditya Mishra and Purnima Shaw.

This paper emphasises the importance of capturing households’ inflation expectations. Based on the definition of rational expectations, it studies the characteristics of inflation expectations of households in India vis-à-vis those of households or consumers in developed and emerging economies. The study indicates that the properties of inflation expectations in India are similar to those in other countries viz., USA, England, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, the Czech Republic, the Philippines and Russia, except for the relatively higher bias in India than for most other economies.

While acknowledging the objectives of capturing households’ inflation expectations, this paper studies the challenges in forecasting inflation using inflation expectations data. It further posits that price shock in various consumer items, irrespective of their weights in the consumption basket, may result in a disproportionate impact on households’ inflation views. Further, the study throws light on how households alter their savings behaviour and portfolio based on several factors, one of them is their sentiments about future inflation. The analysis opens vistas for further research in this area.
