Note that the model's inherent stochasticity, together with the real-time learning behavior of agents, imparts considerable uncertainty regarding the asymptotic outcome: all simulations result in an initial contraction of the span of beliefs, but what happens next depends on the interaction of stochasticity, expectational feedback, and learning behavior.
In addition to the preliminary testing of data stationarity, recent literature on REH testing has advocated the use of cointegration testing to examine the presence of co-movement in the survey expectational data.
Given this general form with C [not equal to] 0, an MSV rational expectational equilibrium takes the following form: (29)
A morale-benefits lens has implications as well for the expectational calculus in takings and due process.
If confidence and expectational factors do not account for the puzzle, what does?
On the theoretical side, Bertola and Drazen (1993) derive predictions in line with the expectational view based on a simple stochastic model of government spending.

To the extent a disproportionate number of exceptions occurs within a given data set, it is natural to assume the fault lies with the expectational earnings model.
The mean error (ME) gives the average expectational error and provides evidence of any systematic over- or under-prediction of inflation in the sample.
