Overview

A randomized field experiment examines elicitation formats affecting inflation perceptions, suggesting design impacts.

Key Points

  • This research evaluates how changes in survey question formats influence reported inflation perceptions.
  • Conducted a randomized field experiment
  • Compared inflation perceptions using range-based questions versus open-ended estimates
  • Estimated regressions using ordinary least squares and quantile regressions for analysis
  • Open-ended estimates reported inflation perceptions averaging 2.08 percentage points higher
  • Median perceptions were 2.05 percentage points higher with open-ended format
  • Median perceptions showed no consistent link to demographic or behavioral traits
