Do People Hold Economic Expectations

Short Description: Expectations play a pivotal role in economic models, shaping individual behavior and market outcomes. This project investigates whether households hold economic expectations - meaning they have formed them in the past and can retrieve them when needed - or whether they form such expectations only during the moment of inquiry.

Methodological Details: Respondents were asked to give their assessment of the future development of different economic indicators.
