The recent macroeconomic literature stresses the importance of managing heterogeneous expectations in the formulation … interest rate rules when agents have heterogeneous expectations and update their beliefs based on past performance as in Brock … converge to the rational expectations equilibrium as multiple equilibria may persist, even when a fully rational, but costly …

Forward guidance operates via the expectations formation process of the agents in the economy. In standard quantitative … macroeconomic models, the expectations are unobserved state variables and little scrutiny is devoted to analysing the dynamic … behaviour of these expectations.
