Expectations in Macroeconomic and Financial Models

There has been a recent surge in research that explores how expectations and uncertainty impact financial markets and the macroeconomy. This virtual conference explored some of the latest research on modeling and measuring expectations and their resulting implications for economic dynamics. Researchers explored the role of memory, information acquisition, and uncertainty as contributing factors to forecasting and decision making in dynamic settings. This conference is a part of the Behavioral Implications of Uncertainty in Macroeconomics Project (BUMP) generously sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation under the Macro Finance Research Program of the Becker Friedman Institute.
