Boundedly versus Procedurally Rational Expectations
Economists who have relied on the rational expectations hypothesis are now seeking to demonstrate that rational expectiations equilibria can emerge in models with agents who are artificually intelligent. Agents’ intelligence is represented by genetic algorithms. However, these algorithms misrepresent current understanding of human cognition as well as well known and long standing evidence from ...
متن کاملThe heterogeneous expectations hypothesis: Some evidence from the lab
This paper surveys learning-to-forecast experiments (LtFEs) with human subjects to test theories of expectations and learning. Subjects must repeatedly forecast a market price, whose realization is an aggregation of individual expectations. Emphasis is given to how individual forecasting rules interact at the micro-level and which structure they cocreate at the aggregate, macro-level. In partic...
متن کاملRational Expectations? Evidence from Planting Decisions in Semi-Arid India
The optimal time to plant in rainfed semi-arid India is at the onset of the monsoon. While planting too early may result in losses because the seeds may not germinate if the first rains are not followed by subsequent rains, postponing planting for too long is also costly, because yield will typically be lower. Given that mistakes about the precise timing of the monsoon are costly, in this paper...
متن کاملExpectations in Macroeconomics: Adaptive versus Eductive Learning1
Rational expectations solutions to macroeconomic models are equilibria requiring the coordination of expectations, and one can investigate the local stability of these solutions under alternative learning rules. Eductive (mental) approaches to learning have somewhat stricter stability conditions than do adaptive (statistical) approaches, as we illustrate using three economic models. The expecta...
متن کاملRational Expectations in Games
Modern game theory was born in 1928, when John von Neumann published his Minimax Theorem. Inter alia, this theorem ascribes to all two-person zero-sum games a value—what rational players should expect to get. Almost 80 years later, strategic game theory has not gotten beyond that initial point, insofar as the basic question of value is concerned. To be sure, we do have equilibrium theories: the...
