Overview: This paper analyzes probabilistic expectations of equity returns elicited in the Survey of Economic Expectations in 1999 %uF8182001 and in the Michigan Survey of Consumers in 2002 %uF8182004. The empirical findings suggest that individuals use interpersonally variable but intrapersonally stable processes to form their expectations. It therefore proposes to think of the population as a mixture of expectations types, each forming expectations in a stable but different way. It uses the expectations data to learn about the prevalence of several specific types suggested by research in conventional and behavioral finance, but conclude that these types do not adequately explain the diverse expectations held by the population.
