Riassunto analitico
We enrich the modelling of expectations in agent-based-models by introducing Pseudo Rational ABM Expectations. Analogously to Muth's hypothesis, agents perform forecasting by using the "true model" of the economy. More precisely, the novel expectations are given by a recursive forecasting method, whereby the agents, aware of the feedback loop between expectations and the system dynamics, revise their expectations iteratevely by foreseeing the future state variables at each step.

The new expectations are implemented in the Keynes meeting Schumpeter model and compared with static naïve expectations. We find that the sophisticated expectations imply perfect foresight, boosting the firm-level performance of the adopters. Nevertheless, introducing one forward-looking firm only deteriorates the macroeconomic dynamics, which gets more volatile and unstable.
