Abstract

Using price index linked and conventional bonds issued by the UK Government, estimates of expected inflation and the expected real interest rate are derived. These estimates are employed to investigate the relationship between components of the nominal interest rate and surprise monetary change. The empirical results support the expected inflation hypothesis rather than the policy anticipation hypothesis.
