    1.

    Do rational expectations tend to look back at past experience while adaptive expectations look ahead to the future? Explain your answer.

Sketch an aggregate demand/aggregate supply diagram to illustrate your answer. Hint: revisit Figure 13.4.

    3.

    Would it make sense to argue that rational expectations economics is an extreme version of neoclassical economics? Explain.
