At the zero lower bound (ZLB), expectations about the future path of monetary or fiscal policy are crucial. We model … expectations formation under level-k thinking, a form of bounded rationality introduced by García-Schmidt and Woodford (2019) and … from rational expectations models, such as the forward guidance and the reversal puzzle, or implausible large fiscal …

Using the first principal component of commodity prices … expectations reacted more strongly to global aggregate demand conditions embedded in oil prices. Within this framework we cannot … reject the hypothesis that expectations remained anchored …
