This paper provides a toolkit for extracting accurate information about inflation expectations using inflation …-linked bonds. First, we show how to estimate term structures of zero-coupon real rates and break-even inflation rates (BEIRs) in … the euro area. This improves the analysis of developments in inflation expectations by providing constant maturity …

In this paper we estimate inflation expectations for several Latin American countries using an affine model that takes … as factors the observed inflation and the parameters generated from zero-coupon yield curves of nominal bonds. By … implementing this approach, we avoid the use of inflation-linked securities, which are scarce in many of these markets, and obtain …

With a unique data set summarizing the quality of rules-based fiscal governance in EU member states, we show that stronger fiscal rules in euro area members reduce sovereign risk premia, in particular in times of market stress. To do so, we develop a model of sovereign spreads that are...
