This chapter provides a survey of the recent work on learning in the context of macroeconomics. Learning has several … roles. First, it provides a boundedly rational model of how rational expectations can be achieved. Secondly, learning acts … as a selection device in models with multiple REE (rational expectations equilibria). Third, the learning dynamics …

We derive the optimal monetary policy in a sticky price model when private agents follow adaptive learning. We show … order to facilitate private sector learning and thus ease the future intratemporal inflation-output gap trade-offs. The … policy recommendation is robust: the welfare loss entailed by the optimal policy under learning if the private sector …

Most studies of optimal monetary policy under learning rely on optimality conditions derived for the case when agents …, and makes active use of, the learning algorithm agents follow in forming their expectations. In this setup, monetary … policy can influence future expectations through its e ect on learning dynamics, introducing an additional tradeo between …
