Earlier studies of the seigniorage inflation model have found that the high-inflation steady state is not stable under adaptive learning. We reconsider this issue and analyze the full set of solutions for the linearized model. Our main focus is on stationary hyperinflationary paths near the...

We provide a methodology to study the role of market distortions on the emergence of indeterminacy and bifurcations … classes of distortions responsible for indeterminacy. Our methodology consists in introducing general specifications for the … distortions influence the range of values for the elasticity of inputs substitution under which local indeterminacy and …

Expectations play a central role in modern macroeconomics. The econometric learning approach, in line with the cognitive consistency principle, models agents as forming expectations by estimating and updating subjective forecasting models in real time. This approach provides a stability test for...

This work analyses the role of asymmetry in beliefs for price dynamics in a cobweb model with heterogeneous expectations and evolutionary selection of predictors. While heterogeneous but symmetric beliefs result in the rational expectations equilibrium price, the effect of asymmetry depends on...

We analyse the dynamics resulting from social learning in a simple general equilibrium (GE) model, whose structure is similar to the one underlying macroeconomic models of the New Macroeconomic Synthesis. The economy is composed by households and firms who exchange labour and consumption goods...

This paper analyzes the relationship between the expectational stability of rational expectations equilibria and the possible convergence of adaptive learning processes. Results obtained using recursive least squares lead to the conjecture that a correspondence between these both selection...
