Section 4 uses endogenous breakpoint tests to assess the timing and significance of the structural break in the relationship between expected inflation and RPV, where we controlled for possible changes in the effects of unexpected inflation and

The adjustment assumes the inflation risk premium is constant over time, when it seems plausible that

Second, there are prominent positive outliers for GDP growth, three of the first four of which occur in the first quarter of the year, likewise the positive

This article develops an empirical test of the first hypothesis, using a reduced-form interest rate equation that links the long bond rate directly to macroeconomic variables, including an empirical proxy for
inflation uncertainty. I focus on the first hypothesis for two reasons.
"Bank chief economist Charles Bean has since suggested that this removes some of the
