Dropping rational expectations

چکیده
We consider a two-period pure-exchange economy, where uncertainty prevails and agents, possibly asymmetrically informed, exchange commodities securities of all kinds. Consumers’ characteristics, anticipations, beliefs actions are private typically not known nor assessed by the other agents. This setting drops rational expectations along ‘common knowledge rationality market clearing’ (CKRMC) assumptions, and, in particular, it Radner (1979) price model inference assumptions. Unaware agents shown to face an incompressible over future states prices, represented so-called ”minimum set”. A sequential equilibrium obtains when expect ‘true’ as possible outcome on every spot market, elect optimal market-clearing strategies. ”correct foresight equilibrium” (CFE) is exist whenever agents’ anticipation sets include minimum set. When CKRMC assumptions restored, CFE lead overarching concept equilibrium, which generalizes classical concepts.

Rational 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...
متن کاملLearning Within Rational-Expectations Equilibrium
Models of macroeconomic learning are populated by agents who possess a great deal of knowledge of the “true” structure of the economy, and yet ignore the impact of their own learning on that structure; they may learn about an equilibrium, but they do not learn within it. An alternative learning model is presented where agents’ decisions are informed by hypotheses they hold regarding the economy...
متن کاملAmbiguity and rational expectations equilibria∗
This paper proves the existence and robustness of partially-revealing rational expectations equilibria (REE) when this equilibrium concept is expanded to allow for some agents to have preferences that display ambiguity aversion. Furthermore, the generic existence of fullyrevealing REE is proven for a commonly-used subset of the class of ambiguity averse preferences. This finding illustrates tha...
متن کاملBoundedly 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 کاملRational expectations and farsighted stability
In the study of farsighted coalitional behavior, a central role is played by the von Neumann-Morgenstern (1944) stable set and its modification that incorporates farsightedness. Such a modification was first proposed by Harsanyi (1974) and has recently been re-formulated by Ray and Vohra (2015). The farsighted stable set is based on a notion of indirect dominance in which an outcome can be domi...
