The aim of this paper is to simulate profit expectations as an emergent property using an agent based model. The paper … builds upon adaptive expectations, interactive expectations and small world networks, combining them into a single adaptive … interactive profit expectations model (AIE). Understanding the diffusion of interactive expectations is aided by using a network …

Why are some people more optimistic about their life than others? Literature on locus of control suggests that optimism is associated with the belief that one’s life outcomes are controlled by internal factors, such as ability, instead of external factors, such as powerful others or...

introduction of model uncertainty into the formation of expectations can account for the regularity. We conjecture that agents … learn in a Bayesian way, using an optimally designed combination of forecasts to form expectations. When these expectations …

We compare the accuracy of the survey forecasts and forecasts implied by economic binary options on the U.S. nonfarm payroll change. These options are available for a number of ranges of the announced figure, and each pays $1 if the released nonfarm payroll change falls in the given range. For...

In this article we theoretically develop and empirically test an integrative conceptual framework linking dispositional optimism as general outcome expectancy to general efficacy beliefs about internal (self) and external (instrumental social support and chance) factors as well as to general...

This thesis aims to develop an alternative expectations model to the Rational Expectations Hypothesis (REH) and … adaptive-expectations models, which provides more accurate temporal predictive performance and more closely reflects recent … Adaptive Interactive Expectations (AIE), a subjective dynamic model of the process of expectations formation. To REH, the AIE …

In this paper the relatively new technique of neural nets is integrated in a traditional model of portfolio choice. On the basis of Arrow’s State Preference Model the investment decision depends on the expectation building process which consists of two components. The individual information...

Therefore we analyse the implicit structural models forecasters have in mind when forming their exchange rate expectations.
