Incorporating adaptive learning into macroeconomics requires assumptions about how agents incorporate their forecasts … into their decision-making. We develop a theory of bounded rationality that we call finite-horizon learning. This approach … generalizes the two existing benchmarks in the literature: Euler-equation learning, which assumes that consumption decisions are …

In an asset-pricing model, risk-averse agents need to forecast the conditional variance of a stock's return. A near-rational restricted perceptions equilibrium exists in which agents believe prices follow a random walk with a conditional variance that is self-fulfilling. When agents estimate...

This paper studies the implications for monetary policy of heterogeneous expectations in a New Keynesian model. The assumption of rational expec?tations is replaced with parsimonious forecasting models where agents select between predictors that are underparameterized. In a Misspecification...
