In this paper, we investigate the behavior of the exchange rate within the framework of an asset pricing model. We assume boundedly rational agents who use simple rules to forecast the future exchange rate. They test these rules continuously using two learning mechanisms. The first one, the...

The Local Scale Model of Shephard (1994) is a state-space model of volatility clustering similar in effect to IGARCH, but with an unobserved volatility that realistically evolves independently of the observed errors, instead of being mechanically determined by them. It has one fewer parameter to...

While under recursive least squares learning the dynamics of the economy converges to rational expectations equilibria (REE) which are E–stable, some recent examples propose that E–stability is not a sufficient condition for learnability. In this paper, we provide some further...
