NEW YORK—The Federal Reserve Bank of New York today announced it will introduce a new survey through four Liberty Street Economics blogs from Wednesday, December 4 to Friday, December 6. The survey, entitled New York Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations, provides timely and rich information about consumer expectations and behavior through three broad categories: inflation expectations, labor market expectations and household finance expectations.
The four posts are:
- Introduction of the Survey, Goals, Design and Content (December 4);
- Measuring Price Inflation Expectations (December 4): expected rate of inflation, home prices, food and gas prices, cost of education, medical care and home rental costs;
- Labor Market Expectations (December 5): expected earnings growth, quits and layoffs expectations, mobility and job finding rate;
- Household Finance Expectations (December 6): expected spending, household income and access to credit.
The survey helps provide valuable input into the evaluation of economic outlook and policy formation. A future advisory will provide more detail about the official release date and frequency of the New York Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations.
