What is Long-term Inflation Expectations and Monetary Policy in the Euro Area Before the Pandemic about?

Survey-based long-term inflation expectations in the euro area reached historically low levels at the end of 2019. A structural VAR analysis shows that the decline in long-term expectations exerted a downward pressure on inflation during the 2013–14 disinflation and in 2019. Counterfactual simulations show that the decrease in inflation would have been larger and output would have declined had the European Central Bank not responded to the fall in expectations. A small New Keynesian model, in which the private sector's estimate of the inflation target varies with inflation, can rationalise the VAR evidence.
