Why Salience Stays Short: Institutional Trust and the Term Structure of Inflation Expectations

This dataset provides the replication package for the paper “Why Salience Stays Short: Institutional Trust and the Term Structure of Inflation Expectations.” The package contains cleaned analysis files, replication code, and a README file. The replication script reproduces the main fixed-effects estimates, horizon comparisons, country-month fixed-effects robustness checks, salience-persistence checks, appendix tables, figures, and logs. The study uses ECB Consumer Expectations Survey microdata merged with country-month Google Trends measures of price salience.
