Expectations of inflation/unemployment/etc feature heavily in policy (esp. this year).

But expectations aren't some universal variable that's the same for everyone – people disagree about macro variables all the time!

Should you care? My JMP shows you should!
#Econjobmarket Image Specifically, I ask: when, and how, does heterogeneity in expectations affect the way shocks transmit to aggregate outcomes?

I look at that in a very general macro framework, that nests all your favourite GE models – and then I study an application to households and inflation.
