Particularly it’s found out that it is not feasible to exclude the possibility of current signals perception by economic agents. The analysis has also shown that there is an uncertainty in economy when authorities redeem monetary policy promises, but their action wouldn’t influence on average inflation expectations of economic agents. The investigation results testify the flat existence of agents in economy which are characterizing with rational, quasi-adaptive (including adaptive) and also arbitral inflation expectations.

  • Adaptive Expectations Versus Rational Expectations: Evidence from the Lab
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositori Institucional de la Universitat Jaume I Adaptive Expectations versus Rational Expectations: Evidence from the lab Annarita Colasante1, Antonio Palestrini, Alberto Russo, Mauro Gallegati Universit`aPolitecnica delle Marche, Piazzale Martelli 8, Ancona, Italy. Abstract The aim of the present work is to shed light on the extensive debate about expectations in financial market. We analyze the behavior of subjects in an exper- imental environment in which it is possible to directly observe expectations since the sole task of each player is to predict the future price of an asset. We investi- gate the mechanism of expectation formation in two different contexts: in the first, the fundamental value is constant; in the second, the fundamental price increases over repetitions. First of all we observe if, according to the main results shown in Palestrini and Gallegati (2015), there is a convergence to the rational equilibrium even if agents have adaptive expectations. Moreover, we concentrate on the accu- racy of aggregate forecasts compared with the individual forecasts. We find that there is collective rationality instead of individual rationality. In the context of increasing fundamental value, contrary to the theoretical predictions, players are able to capture the trend but they underestimate that value. This implies that if all agents make their forecasts according to an adaptive scheme, there is no full convergence to the rational expectations equilibrium. Keywords: Price forecasting, Financial market, Experiment, Panel data, Forecasting practice 1. Introduction The recent financial crisis highlighted the importance of agents' behaviour in the financial market and, in turn, the impact of individual financial choices in the real economy.

  • Overview of Models and Methods for Measuring Economic Agent's Expectations
    Overview of models and methods for measuring economic agent's expectations Tine Janžek, Petra Ziherl Abstract Agents' expectations play an important role as one of the basic building blocks of theoretical macroeconomic models. In practise, though, their intangible nature has always caused consistency difficulties regarding their measurement and estimation methods. Increased importance and use of econometric modelling in contemporary financial stability analyses has triggered numerous advances in methods for measuring empirical expectations. Due to the shortage of empirical data for a more detailed evaluation of expectation measures, this article focuses more on the presentation of the most commonly established methods for their capturing and the methodological aspect of the prevailing models. KEYWORDS: expectations, rational expectations, surveys, qualitative measures, quantitative measures, probabilistic measures, visual analog scale, probability approach, regression approach, inflation, VAR. Expectation examination approaches Modern economic theory recognizes that the main difference between economics and natural sciences lies in the forward-looking decisions made by economic agents. Expectations play a key role in every segment of macroeconomics. In consumption theory the paradigm life-cycle and permanent income approaches stress the role of expected future incomes. In investment decisions present-value calculations are conditional on expected future prices and sales. Asset prices (equity prices, interest rates, and exchange rates) also clearly depend on expected future prices. Today we can distinct two major expectation paradigms and concepts, where the second became the mainstream approach for further development of expectation examination: Adaptive expectations (AE) represent a hypothesis in economics which states that people form their expectations about what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past.

  • The Misspecification of Expectations in New Keynesian Models: a DSGE
    The Misspecification of Expectations in New Keynesian Models: A DSGE-VAR Approach Stephen J. COLE Fabio MILANI∗ Department of Economics Department of Economics University of California, Irvine University of California, Irvine April, 2014 Abstract This paper tests the ability of popular New Keynesian models, which are traditionally used to study monetary policy and business cycles, to match the data regarding a key channel for monetary transmission: the dynamic interactions between macroeconomic variables and their corresponding expectations. In the empirical analysis, we exploit direct data on expectations from surveys. To explain the joint evolution of realized variables and expectations, we adopt a DSGE-VAR approach, which allows us to estimate all models in the continuum between the extremes of an unrestricted VAR, on one side, and a DSGE model in which the cross-equation restrictions are dogmatically imposed, on the other side. Moreover, the DSGE-VAR approach allows us to assess the extent, as well as the main sources, of misspecification in the model. The paper’s results illustrate the failure of New Keynesian models under the rational expec- tations hypothesis to account for the dynamic interactions between observed macroeconomic expectations and macroeconomic realizations. Confirming previous studies, DSGE restrictions prove valuable when the New Keynesian model is exempted from matching observed expecta- tions. But when the model is required to match data on expectations, it can do so only by moving away, and hence substantially rejecting, DSGE restrictions. Finally, we investigate alternative models of expectations formation, including examples of extrapolative and heterogeneous expectations, and show that they can go some way toward reconciling the New Keynesian model with the data.

  • The Formation of Expectations, Inflation and the Phillips Curve 1
    The Formation of Expectations, Inflation and the Phillips Curve Olivier Coibion Yuriy Gorodnichenko Rupal Kamdar UT Austin & NBER UC Berkeley & NBER UC Berkeley March 25th , 2017 Abstract This paper argues for a careful (re)consideration of the expectations formation process and a more systematic inclusion of real-time expectations through survey data in macroeconomic analyses. While the rational expectations revolution has allowed for great leaps in macroeconomic modeling, the surveyed empirical micro-evidence appears increasingly at odds with the full-information rational expectation assumption. We explore models of expectation formation that can potentially explain why and how survey data deviate from full-information rational expectations. Using the New Keynesian Phillips curve as an extensive case study, we demonstrate how incorporating survey data on inflation expectations can address a number of otherwise puzzling shortcomings that arise under the assumption of full-information rational expectations. Keywords: Expectations, Inflation, Surveys JEL Codes: E3, E4, E5 1. Introduction Macroeconomists have long recognized the central role played by expectations: nearly all economic decisions contain an intertemporal dimension such that contemporaneous choices depend on agents’ perceptions about future economic outcomes. How agents form those expectations should therefore play a central role in macroeconomic dynamics and policy-making. While full-information rational expectations (FIRE) have provided the workhorse approach for modeling expectations for the past few decades, the increasing availability of detailed micro-level survey-based data on subjective expectations of individuals has revealed that expectations deviate from FIRE in systematic and quantitatively important ways including forecast-error predictability and bias. 1 How should we interpret these results from survey data? In this paper, we tackle this question by first reviewing the rise of the FIRE assumption and some of the successes that it has achieved.

  • Writing a Resignation Letter
    San José State University Writing Center www.sjsu.edu/writingcenter Written by Jacqueline Goodwin Writing a Resignation Letter A resignation letter provides notice that you will leave a company. It follows the verbal notice you give your supervisor about quitting your job. Why should I write a resignation letter? Resignation letters are professional courtesies that extend your professionalism, even in the last days of current employment. A letter of resignation often secures a favorable letter of recommendation in the future, and it officially documents your departure. What should I consider before I submit my resignation letter? If you choose to leave your current job for an opportunity at another company, be sure that you have a true offer from your prospective employer, such as written acknowledgment of the new job offer. Likewise, be sure to accept the offer formally, preferably through written documentation. Once you understand you have a secure position at the other company, notify your current employer: first verbally and then with your resignation letter. Do not discuss your plan to quit your job with co-workers prior to the verbal notice you give your employer about quitting. Such unprofessional behavior will undermine the professionalism of your letter of resignation. How much notice should I give? It is standard practice to give at least a two-week notice. If you have a leadership position or a position that requires your specialized skills, it is important that you provide extra notice. Managerial jobs and above may require a month or even a six-week notice. In all cases, it is important to consult employee handbooks or contracts for the specifics on when to give notice.
