Term Premia and Inflation Uncertainty: Empirical Evidence from an International Panel Dataset: Reply

Author

  • Jonathan H. Wright

Abstract

Bauer, Rudebusch, and Wu (2014) advocate the use of bias-corrected estimates in their comment on Wright (2011). Econometric estimation of a macro-finance VAR provides quite imprecise estimates of future short-term interest rates. Nonetheless, comparison with survey responses indicates that the proposed bias-corrected point estimates are less plausible than their maximum-likelihood counterparts.
