Целью настоящего исследования является выявление и оценивание взаимосвязи инфляции, восприятия и ожидания инфляции домохозяйствами с параметрами информационного (новостного) фона на примере Российской Федерации. Материалами для обработки в качестве российского информационного фона послужили новостные сообщения, выдаваемые ведущими российскими телеканалами и дублируемые на соответствующих сайтах, а также интернетпоиск (количество новостей и поисковых запросов, длина заголовков текстовых версий новостей, частота упоминания тех или иных тем в них, тональность текстов), данные GoogleTrends о запросах в интернете. Тональность текстов оценивалась с помощью автоматических анализаторов EurikaEngine и Repustate. Также используются данные из отчетов Фонда общественного мнения для ЦБ РФ, размещенные на его сайте, данные отчеты содержат месячные данные о фактической инфляции (индексе потребительских цен) за 12 месяцев и результаты опросов респондентов о восприятии инфляции, ожиданиях инфляции, потребительских настроениях, оценках экономических и личных перспектив, изменении поведения (начало поиска работы, совершение крупных покупок и т.п.) и широкий круг прочих характеристик настроений населения, связанных с инфляцией. Для обработки собранных данных использовались корреляционно-регрессионный анализ, а также специфические методы: причинность по Грейнджеру, методы главных компонент и лассо-регрессии. В результате анализа обнаруживаются статистически значимые корреляции, которые могут быть связаны с индивидуальной реакцией на освещаемые темы, выраженной в изменении настроений и поведении. Так, инфляция отрицательно коррелирует с количеством политических новостей на канале «Россия» и длинной заголовков текстовых версий политических новостей на «Первом» и положительно – с поисковыми запросами по теме «Инфляция» в Интернете. Включение этих переменных в регрессию, оценивающую инфляцию на основе лаговых значений, значимо улучшает качество регрессии, хотя их воздействие невелико с точки зрения абсолютных величин. Обнаруженные зависимости изменяются после смены режима валютного курса и перехода к таргетированию инфляции. В частности, в предшествовавшей этой смене период веб-поиск демонстрировал статистическую значимость в оцениваемых нами уравнениях, а политические новости – нет, в то время как в последующий период – наоборот. Мы находим связь рассматриваемых параметров информационного фона с некоторыми аспектами индивидуального поведения – прежде всего, с началом поиска более оплачиваемой работы или занятия бизнесом. Наконец, выявляются некоторые несовершенства информационной активности ЦБ РФ: повышение частоты его упоминания в новостях снижают уверенность людей в том, что инфляционный таргет будет достигнут.В заключении авторы приходят к следующим основополагающим выводам: параметры информационного фона могут быть пригодны для оперативных оценок инфляции, эффект таргетирования инфляции (т.е. большей управляемости инфляционных процессов со стороны Центробанка) повышает значимость политических новостей в принимаемых индивидами решениях, информационная политика и общий имидж Центробанка РФ требует совершенствования.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The background information that forms the expectations of economic entities is a significant factor that determines their behavior.The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the relationship of inflation, perception and expectation of inflation by households with the parameters of the information (news’) background on the example of the Russian Federation.The materials for processing as a Russian information background were news’ reports issued by leading Russian TV channels and duplicated on the relevant sites, as well as Internet search (the number of news and search queries, the length of the headlines of the text versions of news, the frequency of mentioning certain topics in them, the tonality of texts), GoogleTrends data on internetrequests. The tonality of the texts was evaluated using automatic analyzers EurikaEngine and Repustate. Data from the reports of the Public Opinion Fund for the Central Bank of the Russian Federation posted on its website are also used; these reports contain monthly data on actual inflation (consumer price index) for 12 months and the results of respondents’ surveys on the perception of inflation, inflation expectations, consumer sentiment, assessments of economic and personal prospects, changes in behavior (starting a job search, making large purchases, etc.) and a wide range of other characteristics of public sentiment related to inflation. To process the collected data, correlation and regression analysis was used, as well as specific methods: Granger causality, principal component methods and lasso regression. As a result of the analysis, statistically significant correlations are found, which may be associated with individual reactions to the topics covered, expressed in changes in mood and behavior.Thus, inflation is negatively correlated with the number of political news on the “Russia” channel and with the length of headlines of text versions of political news of the “Pervy” channel, and positively correlated with web-search queries on the topic “Inflation”. Including these variables in a regression that estimates inflation based on lagged values significantly improves the quality of the regression, although their impact is small in terms of absolute values. We analyze how these relations change after the shift in the exchange rate regime and the introduction of inflation targeting. We find that in the period preceding to the shift, web-search demonstrated statistical significance in the equations we evaluate, and political news did not, while in the subsequent period, the opposite was true. We observe a connection between the parameters under consideration with certain aspects of individual behavior, such as the search for a better-paid job, or doing business. Finally, we find imperfections in the information activity of the Central Bank: an increase in the frequency of its mention in the news reduces people’s confidence that the inflation target can be achieved.In conclusion, the authors come to the following fundamental conclusions: the parameters of the information environment may be suitable for operational estimates of inflation, the effect of inflation targeting (i.e. greater controllability of inflationary processes by Central Bank) increases the importance of political news in decisions made by individuals, information policy and the overall image of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation requires improvement.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>инфляция</kwd><kwd>восприятие инфляции</kwd><kwd>ожидания</kwd><kwd>информационный фон</kwd><kwd>таргетирование инфляции</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>inflation</kwd><kwd>perception of inflation</kwd><kwd>expectations</kwd><kwd>informational environment</kwd><kwd>inflation targeting</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Блум Н.
