is used to test hypotheses of HB. We show the common knowledge assumptions of the PI theory are implausible. The theories … differ on four main analytical issues. (1) The pricing theory under PI implies prices have infinite memory and at each t … rationality conditions impose restrictions on any HB theory. We explain the tight restrictions on the model's parameters imposed …
