Abstract

This paper advances an intuitive representation of Keynes's notion of long-term expectation. We introduce the epsilon-contamination approach and represent the conventional judgment by the Steiner point of agents' common probability set. We anticipate a change in conventional judgment by updating the Steiner point.

Keywords
Keynes, long-term expectation, epsilon contamination, uncertainty, multiple priors.
