3 рациональные ожидания

rational expectations

Объявление двух цен, доминирующих в отсутствие обязательств, не повлияло бы на поведение потребителей, так как, по нашему предположению, в случае отсутствия обязательств их ожидания рациональны. — The consumers' behavior would not be affected by the announcement of the two prices prevailing where there is no commitment, because, under our assumption, they have rational expectations under no commitment.

ожидания, самореализованные или рациональные — self-fulfilled or rational expectations
