Inflation misperceptions of consumers complicate the conduct and communication of monetary policy and can undermine the credibility of the central bank si inflation target. This paper empirically investigates the determinants of inflation misperceptions by extending a rational inattention model to include distorted signals from salient prices. We estimate the model using rich micro-level panel data for the euro area drawn from the ECB Consumer Expectations Survey. We find that consumers misunderstand inflation both because they are inattentive to inflation and because they overweight food price inflation relative to headline inflation. In different, distortions arising from energy prices are not significant. Financialraterate consumers exhibit lower inflation misperceptions and greater attention to inflation, while women have more pronounced inflation misperceptions and place larger weights on salient prices. N'ikpeazụ, anyị na-egosi na nlebara anya na inflation dị elu na echiche na-ezighi ezi dị ala na nzaghachi inflationary karịa akụkọ disinflationary.
