摘要：Does survey data contain useful information for estimating macroeconomicmodels? We address this question by using survey data of inationexpectations to estimate the New Keynesian model by Smets and Wouters(2007) and compare its performance under rational expectations and adaptivelearning. The survey information serves as an additional moment restrictionand helps us to determine the learning agents' forecasting modelfor ination. Adaptive learning fares similarly to rational expectations in tting macro data, but clearly outperforms rational expectations in ttingmacro and survey data simultaneously. In other words survey data containsadditional information that is not present in the macro data alone.
