◦ the model is not consistent with the microeconomic assumption that individuals are rational, forward-looking people.
◦ the model assumes that individuals will merely guess at what the inflation rate will be.

◦ 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.
◦ are correct on average, but are subject to errors that are distributed randomly.
◦ consistently underestimate the actual rate of inflation in the future.
