Two Well Known But Doubtful Economic Theories

[By Staff Reporters]
1 – RATIONAL EXPECTATIONS state that one will conform to what can logically be expected in the future. That is, a person will invest, save or spend according to what s/he rationally believes will happen in the future. An investor thinks a stock is going to go up, and by buying it, this act actually causes the stock to go up.

DOUBT: An investor notices that a stock is undervalued, buys it, and watches as other investors notice the same thing, thus pushing the price up to its proper market value. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that helps bring about the future event. So, RE can be changed to explain everything, but it tells us nothing.
2 – ADAPTIVE EXPECTATIONS suggest that people form their expectations about what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past.
DOUBT: Past data is only one of many factors that influence future behavior. In the financial world, change is the only true constant.
