TIPS Expected Inflation Estimates

The yields on two different kinds of Treasury securities—nominal treasury notes and treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) can be used to calculate a measure of inflation expectations. Because the market's expectations for inflation are priced into one of these securities, the measure that is derived from the yields is a good estimate of the market's estimate of future inflation. The calculation involves correcting for some biases, and the method is described here. The measure is charted below and for comparison a series that has not been corrected for the biases is charted alongside. You can also chart two other measures of inflation expectations,too.
