Abstract: In a broad class of non-linear representative agent models, represented by a system of difference equations, we replace rational expectations with linear forecast models conditioning on a predetermined set of regressors. Within this framework, a restricted perceptions equilibrium (RPE) corresponds to a forecast rule that is optimal within that class of models. Local uniqueness of a stationary rational expectations equilibrium (REE) near the non-stochastic steady state is shown to guarantee the existence, uniqueness and E-stability of an RPE local to that steady state. A benchmark RBC model with government spending shocks illustrates the theoretical results.
