Survey Form Examples

2011 Q1 Form: This form shows how we added a “consistency check” to the questionnaire (first added in the survey of 2011 Q1) to help the panelists see the implications of their five- and 10-year annual-average inflation projections for their implied projection for five-year-annual-average inflation over the second-half of the 10-year horizon. A memo explaining the “consistency check” was sent to the forecasters before we sent the questionnaire.
2010 Q1 Form: This form shows a modification to the survey to include: (1) a longer annual horizon for real GDP, unemployment, and interest rates, (2) the rate on Baa corporate bonds, and (3) additional density forecasts.
2009 Q2 Form: This form shows how we modified the questionnaire to extend the annual horizon for unemployment and real GDP and add the associated density forecasts.
