Abstract

In the basic Cagan model of monetary dynamics, we allow inflationary expectations tobe formed as a weighted average of fundamentalist and chartists expectations. We allow theweights to evolve adaptively according to the mechanism of Brock and Hommes [3] and study the resulting dynamic behaviour.
