Expectation Calculation and Macroeconomic Dynamics
建立了一个框架，其中经济主体在给定计算技术和预测误差偏好的条件下做出预期修正决策，导致预期逐渐调整至长期理性预期均衡，并在货币政策模型中产生长期非中性和滞后效应。
The authors establish a framework wherein agents make expectation-revision decisions subject to a specified calculation technology and preferences over forecast errors. The technology endows agents with correctly specified economic models, but the cost of expectation calculation using these models leads to gradual and incomplete adjustment to long-run rational-expectation equilibrium. The rational-expectations hypothesis emerges as a special case of the equilibrium paths obtained in the authors' framework. In a natural-rate model of monetary policy, calculation technology gives rise to long-run nonneutrality and hysteresis effects, and incomplete adjustment of forecast rules causes output fluctuations to be amplified.
