Very interesting new paper by @benmoll.bsky.social on rational expectations as a main problem in het agent macro. Including ideas on how to move forward:

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research
