Abstract

Zgodnie z fiskalną teorią poziomu cen polityka fiskalna może mieć wpływ na stopę inflacji, a zatem potencjalnie może także wpływać na oczekiwania inflacyjne. Celem artykułu jest sprawdzenie, czy w rzeczywistości taka zależność istnieje. W badaniu przedstawiony został wpływ długu publicznego na oczekiwania inflacyjne konsumentów w 20 krajach europejskich, wysoko i nisko zadłużonych. W artykule analizujemy, czy konsumenci europejscy rozpoznają zagrożenie dla stabilności cen związane z wysokim zadłużeniem i w jaki sposób uwzględniają informację dotyczącą długu publicznego przy formułowaniu oczekiwań inflacyjnych. Na danych panelowych estymowane jest równanie oczekiwań inflacyjnych, w którym jedną ze zmiennych objaśniających jest stosunek długu publicznego do PKB. Ponadto ocenie poddana jest makroekonomiczna efektywność oczekiwań inflacyjnych względem długu publicznego. Wyniki badania pokazują, że w grupie krajów nisko zadłużonych dług publiczny nie wpływa w istotny sposób na oczekiwania inflacyjne konsumentów, natomiast w grupie krajów wysoko zadłużonych istnieje dodatni, istotny wpływ wielkości zadłużenia na oczekiwania. Ponadto w krajach, gdzie dług rzeczywiście może stanowić zagrożenie i uruchomić procesy inflacyjne, konsumenci przetwarzają informację na jego temat w sposób efektywny, podczas gdy w krajach nisko zadłużonych błędy prognoz nie są ortogonalne względem informacji na temat długu. Jednym z istotnych wniosków płynących z przedstawionego badania jest to, że sugeruje ono występowanie dodatkowego kanału, poprzez który wysokie zadłużenie może przekładać się na wyższą inflację, mianowicie kanału oczekiwań.
