Signifie que les agents économiques agissent non seulement en fonction des données du passé (anticipations adaptatives), mais aussi en fonction des prévisions du futur. Les anticipations rationnelles se distinguent des anticipations adaptatives en ce que le jeu des anticipations adaptatives exige un temps d'observation pour apprendre la loi d'évolution, alors que pour les anticipations rationnelles l'agent a cette connaissance dès le départ. 2, record 1, French, - anticipations%20rationnelles
