In this article, we generalize the Carlson-Parkin (1975) method for the estimation of expected inflation rates based on qualitative surveys. An important generalization is that in our model, people's responses to the question given can be random while in the Carlson-Parkin method, they are not random. Second, alternative determinations of a threshold value are proposed. Third, the problem is treated with a gamma response function under a gamma distribution.
