Abstract

This article discusses the relation between the risk of price instability and consumer perception. After quantifying the inflation/deflation risk, which introduces the preference of economic representatives as well as the whole probability distribution of price level deviating from the target zone, based on GARCH model and bootstrapping, we employ a stepwise least square to investigate the nexus between balance of risk and consumer perception. Although empirical results only find relatively weak connection between these two factors, the methodology opens a new window for future quantitative analyses.
