Heterogeneous expectations, sunspot equilibria and their fragility
Abstract
In a simple, univariate forward looking model, we show how a class of sunspot equilibria can depend on the relative fraction of agents under heterogeneous expectations. We then investigate if such equilibrium could be brought about by endogenous predictor choice dynamics.Download Info
