The article also noted that "investors don't seem to have changed their perception of... [short-term] interest rates in the future." If the article is correct, can the expectations theory explain why the interest rate on 10-year German government bonds declined? Can the risk premium theory? Briefly explain.arrow_forwardRational expectations theory assumes Multiple Cholce consumer behavior is static. consumers will change their behavior, but it takes time. consumers will adjust to their current situation immediately consumers lack full information and would benefit from improved expectationsarrow_forward
- Suppose you flipped an honest coin 10 times and tails came up 10 times. You are about to toss the coin another 10 times. Complete the statements that follow to indicate how many tails you would expect in the next 10 coin flips based on adaptive expectations theory and rational expectations theory. Using adaptive expectations, you would expect tails to come up. Using rational expectations, you would expect tails to come up.arrow_forwardThe rational expectations assumption is unrealistic because, essentially, it amounts to the assumption that every consumer has perfect knowledge of the economy.” Discuss in the context of developing countries.arrow_forwardIllustrate graphically what would happen in the short run and in the long run to the price level and Real GDP if individuals hold rational expectations, prices and wages are flexible, and individuals overestimate the rise in aggregate demand (bias upward).arrow_forward
