| ''Unbiased Adaptive Expectation Schemes'' |
| ( 2015, Vol. 35 No.2 ) |
| |
| |
| There are situations in which the old-fashioned adaptive expectation process seems to provide a good description of agents' behavior (Chow, 2011). Unfortunately, this expectation scheme may not satisfy the necessary rationality condition (unconditional mean-zero error). This paper shows how to simply fix the problem introducing a bias correction term. |
