摘要：This paper estimates the size and dynamics of ination risk premia in the euro area, based on a joint model of macroeconomic and term structure dynamics. Information from both nominal and index-linked yields is used in the empirical analysis. Our results indicate that term premia in the euro area yield curve reect predominantly real risks, i.e. risks which a¤ect the returns on both nominal and index-linked bonds. On average, ination risk premia were negligible during the EMU period but, occasionally, subject to statistically signi cant uctuations in 2004-2006. Movements in the raw break-even rate appear to have mostly reected such variations in ination risk premia, while long-term ination expectations have remained remarkably anchored from 1999 to date.
