Abstract

Inflation in Israel has passed through distinct phases of constant trends. Inflationary expectation's survey for a period containing a large shift in actual inflation from one phase to another reveals that the shift had not been perceived immediately by the survey's participants, but that the average expected inflation rate converges gradually to the new long-run level according to an S-shaped learning curve.
