Optimal inflation rate : a meta-analysis

Opatrny, Matej; Opatrny, Martin; Havránek, Tomáš; … - 2026

We revisit the optimal long-run inflation rate using 777 estimates from 116 primary studies published between 1989 and 2026, the largest sample on the topic to date. To our knowledge, this is among the first economics meta-analyses in which primary-data extraction is done from start to finish...

On the extent, correlates, and consequences of reporting bias in survey wages

Caliendo, Marco; Huber, Katrin; Isphording, Ingo Eduard; … - 2026

We study the extent, correlates, and consequences of reporting bias in survey wages using German linked survey-administrative data (SOEP-CMI-ADIAB). Survey wages differ systematically from administrative records: mean survey wages are 7% lower, and discrepancies follow a mean-reverting pattern....

Disambiguating information interventions : recovering beliefs and ambiguity attitudes from virtual twins

Baillon, Aurélien; Capozza, Francesco; Moghani, Vahid - 2026

Elicited probabilities conflate latent beliefs, ambiguity attitudes, and response er- ror. We develop a measurement method that identifies these components from noisy subjective-probability data using consequential bets on singleton and union events. Ambiguity weighting is parameterized by two...

How reliable are national accounts estimates of agricultural output?

Jones, Sam; Mucocana, Marcelo - 2025

Measurement errors in macroeconomic aggregates such as GDP have been widely lamented, particularly in low-income contexts. This study investigates the reliability of one component of national accounts, agricultural sector output. Focusing first on the case of Mozambique, we use a series of 12...

Inference for regression with variables generated from unstructured data

Battaglia, Laura; Christensen, Tim; Hansen, Stephen; … - 2024

The leading strategy for analyzing unstructured data uses two steps. First, latent variables of economic interest are estimated with an upstream information retrieval model. Second, the estimates are treated as "data" in a downstream econometric model. We establish theoretical arguments for why...
