This paper gives local stability conditions for convergence of the price dynamics in a cobweb model with rationally heterogeneous expectations, generalizing the example of Brock and Hommes (1997). When agents choose between rational, naive, and adaptive beliefs, the steady state may be locally asymptotically stable if the adaptive predictor places enough weight on past prices and is costless. I...
متن کاملAlternative Conditions to Time Inconsistency Equilibrium of an International Monetary Policy
Monetary policy rule is an approach to avoid time inconsistency problem as regarded by new classical economist to choose a time plan for policy making in order to maximize householdsâ well-being. The foundation of time inconsistency problem is not coincidence of expectations as an ex-ante variable, which is expected variable, with actual variable as an ex-post variable. Expectations in Finn K...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Route to Rational Expectations
Evolutionary game theory provides a fresh perspective on the prospects that agents with heterogeneous expectations might eventually come to agree on a single expectation. We establish conditions under which convergence of beliefs could occur, but also show that persistent heterogeneous expectations can arise if those conditions do not hold. The critical element is the degree of curvature in pay...
متن کاملMoral Education Basedon the Convergence of Beliefs and Values
In the present article, by reviewing the Islamic worldview, the convergence of beliefs and values and its role in moral education becomes clear and justified. In the common sense, values are a function of beliefs, and thus the convergence of beliefs and values seems natural. For example, monotheism clarifies the value of the monotheistic moral education and the avoidance of polytheistic moralit...
متن کاملHeterogeneous beliefs and the non-linear cobweb model
This paper generalizes the evolutionary cobweb model with heterogeneous beliefs of Brock and Hommes (1997. Econometrica 65, 1059}1095), to the case of non-linear demand and supply. Agents choose between a simple, freely available prediction strategy such as naive expectations and a sophisticated, costly prediction strategy such as rational expectations, and update their beliefs according to an ...
