摘要:
This paper combines statistical with economic equilibrium analysis in the context of one-step forward looking economic models. For a given state space, the economic analysis determines a set of Markov processes consistent with economic equilibrium, the set of expectational equilibria. The concept of statistical equilibrium rationalizes the introduction of a probability measure on the set of expectational equilibria. In the infinite observations limit, there exists a unique expectational equilibrium which is realized with probability one, the statistical expectational equilibrium. The statistical method is applicable whenever the set of expectational equilibria is a compact and convex set. Statistical expectational equilibrium is characterized as the maximum entropy expectational equilibrium. An exponential representation of statistical expectational equilibrium is derived for a large class of one-step forward looking economic models. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
