Abstract

We use two market-based measures of inflation compensation to explore the transmission mechanism of monetary policy to inflation markets. New information about the Fed's monetary policy stance becomes available on the days of meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and is reflected in asset prices. We measure the sensitivity of inflation compensation measures to changes in monetary policy and compare its magnitudes across different maturity horizons, and across conventional and unconventional monetary policy regimes. Our analysis reveals that risk premia embedded in inflation compensation are horizon and monetary policy regime dependent.
