Inflation and its perception by the public are often very different. 🏷 While the Central Bank tracks inflation across a wide range of goods, people typically don't buy all of them every day. 💡 This creates a disconnect between the official inflation data and public perception. But is there a correlation between the two? 🤔

This dataset explores the relationship between inflation as reported by the Central Bank of Russia and inflation expectations as captured in surveys conducted by ВЦИОМ (All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center). 📈 By analyzing both sources of data, we can understand how Russians feel about inflation and how their perception compares with the official statistics.

🗓 Dataset Overview:

• Survey Data: 💬 Data collected from surveys asking Russian citizens about their perception of inflation. The survey categorizes inflation into three levels: "Very High," "Moderate," and "Low."

• Central Bank Data: 🏦 Official data published by the Central Bank of Russia, including year-on-year inflation rates and key interest rates.

Inflation Perception Index: 🔢 The perception index is calculated using a weighted average of survey responses:

Index = ( Very High Inflation × 0.9 + Moderate Inflation × 0.5 + Low Inflation × 0.1) / Count without "I don’t know"

📅 Data Collection:

• Survey Data Source: 📊 ВЦИОМ (All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center) conducts regular surveys on inflation perceptions among Russian citizens. The survey data captures public sentiment on inflation in the last month or two.

• Inflation Data Source: 🏛 Central Bank of Russia provides official inflation statistics (year-on-year) and the key interest rate, which are critical for evaluating economic stability. The inflation target is also included in the dataset.

🧮 Key Columns:

• Date 📅: The date corresponding to each data entry.

• Key Rate, % per year 💰: The official interest rate set by the Central Bank of Russia.

• Inflation, % year-on-year 📉: The year-on-year inflation rate reported by the Central Bank.

• Inflation Target 🎯: The official target for inflation set by the Central Bank.

• Survey Responses 🗣: Data from survey questions about inflation perceptions:

  • Very High Inflation (Survey) 🚨

  • Moderate Inflation (Survey) 📊

  • Low Inflation (Survey) 🌱

  • I do not know (Survey) 🤷‍♂️

• Perception Index 🔢: The calculated index reflecting the general perception of inflation among Russians.

📈 Potential Use Cases:

• Economic Research 📚: Analyze the correlation between official inflation rates and public sentiment regarding inflation.

• Policy Evaluation 📊: Assess the effectiveness of the Central Bank's monetary policies in influencing public perceptions of inflation.

• Forecasting 🔮: Build predictive models for inflation expectations based on public sentiment and official statistics.

• Public Sentiment Analysis 💬: Explore how perceptions of inflation impact consumer behavior and business strategies.
