Abstract:
This paper provides background information on the questionnaires and basic descriptive statistics for a representative survey of the German population, conducted on our behalf by Dynata in February-March 2025. The survey covers a range of topics related to inflation and economic issues, including: 1) 'official' and 'personalised' inflation perceptions and expectations, 2) subjective and objective knowledge about monetary policy and financial matters, and 3) an experiment assessing whether supply constraint scenarios affect laypersons' inflation expectations. A broad set of socio-demographic and economic indicators was also collected.
