Abstract

The study presents a critical review of the main schools of thought regarding the formation of economic expectations. The overview includes static and adaptive expectations, rational expectations, learning approaches, and heterogeneous agents and heterogeneous information approaches. Key applications and limitations are outlined, resulting in an overall evaluation of the presented hypotheses. This is also put in the context of the newly emerging field of behavioral macroeconomics.
