◦ people will continue to acquire information as long as the marginal benefit of that information is positive.
◦ individuals have a very good idea of what to expect from the government in terms of monetary policy but not fiscal policy.
◦ it is costless for individuals and firms to form rational expectations.
◦ if expectations were not rational, there would be unexploited profit opportunities available.
