◦ the way people formulate expectations in that model assumes that individuals are highly sophisticated in their economic thinking.

Question 2

The rational-expectations hypothesis suggests that the forecasts that people make concerning future inflation rates


◦ are always correct.
◦ consistently overestimate the actual rate of inflation in the future.
