title = "Expected inflation, unexpected inflation, and relative price dispersion. An empirical analysis",
abstract = "Using inflation expectations extracted from index bond prices, we examine the relations between expected inflation, unexpected inflation and relative price dispersion in stable and volatile monetary regimes. We find that expected inflation is positively related to relative price dispersion in the high inflation period, and that inflation shocks are positively related to relative price dispersion in the low inflation period.",
