We analyze differences in consumption and wealth that arise because of different degrees of rationality of households … other fraction possesses less cognitive ability. We identify the rationality bias of boundedly rational agents, defined as a … rationality bias can be decomposed into three individual components: the consumption expectation bias, the real interest rate bias …

It is common to analyze the effects of alternative monetary policy commitments under the assumption of fully model-consistent expectations. This implicitly assumes unrealistic cognitive abilities on the part of economic decision makers. The relevant question, however, is not whether the...

I study liquidity traps in a model where agents have heterogeneous expectations and finite planning horizons. Backward-looking agents base their expectations on past observations, while forward-looking agents have fully rational expectations. Liquidity traps that are fully or partly driven by...
