Venice Summer Institute 2018: Expectation Formation

Expectations play a key role in any economic model of decision-making under uncertainty. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different fields of economics to better understand how individuals form expectations, how they update their expectations after receiving new information, how individuals' expectations translate into their spending, saving and investment decisions and the resulting implications for macroeconomics and asset pricing, as well as the policy recommendations based on such models.

Keynote speakers: Nicola Gennaioli, Bocconi University, and Stefan Nagel, University of Chicago
