We introduce heterogeneous expectations in a standard housing market model linking housing rental levels to fundamental buying prices. Using quarterly data we estimate the model parameters for eight different countries, US, UK, NL, JP, CH, ES, SE and BE. We find that the data support...

"This paper proposes a model in which the decision maker builds an optimally simplified representation of the world … maximization problems. The agent's choice of a representation of the world features a quadratic proxy for the benefits of thinking … the world. This model yields a tractable procedure, which embeds the traditional rational agent as a particular case, and …
