当智能体接收到关于随机过程的信息时,它们具有预见性,这些信息超出了当前和过去历史中所包含的信息。在本文中,我们提出了一个信息结构中的预见量的信息理论测量,并展示了如何将关于预见的信息假设与关于过程本身的动态的物理假设分开。然后,我们发展了一个理论的内生预见,其中的预见类型是由经济代理人最佳选择。在一个消费和储蓄的典型动态模型中,我们得到了最优预见问题的封闭解。JEL分类:D83、D84、E21
Agents have foresight when they receive information about a random process above and beyond the information contained in its current and past history. In this paper, we propose an information-theoretic measure of the quantity of foresight in an information structure, and show how to separate informational assumptions about foresight from physical assumptions about the dynamics of the processes itself. We then develop a theory of endogenous foresight in which the type of foresight is chosen optimally by economic agents. In a prototypical dynamic model of consumption and saving, we derive a closed-form solution to the optimal foresight problem. JEL classification: D83, D84, E21
