   Sammanfattning : Does information on the distribution of wealth and income help us forecast aggregate macroeconomic variables? In this thesis, we study how adding such distributional variables to a standard forecasting model affects the forecast accuracy, in the context of inflation forecasting. Using the simulated inflation forecasting approach of Atkeson and Ohanian (2001), we perform a horse race between a textbook NAIRU Phillips curve to an extension augmented with variables from the wealth and income distributions.

   Sammanfattning : With rising inequality all over the world and simultaneous concern about the economic viability of the welfare state model, research has paid increasing attention to how economic inequality affects public opinion towards welfare policy in developed welfare states.
