Bayesian agents learn *within* an equilibrium structure that is already

The Phillips curve lectures apply this machinery to a government that learns: a

rest point in {doc}`phillips_self_confirming`, constant-gain mean dynamics and
escapes in {doc}`phillips_learning` and {doc}`phillips_escaping_nash`, and priors

The self-confirming equilibrium is E-stable, so a government that believes its coefficients
are constant and estimates them by least squares with a decreasing gain is drawn toward it
({doc}`phillips_self_confirming`, {doc}`phillips_learning`).
asymptotically ({doc}`phillips_self_confirming`, {doc}`phillips_learning`); in finite samples a
falling gain can also let an early escape stick, because it slows the return as well.

That is the natural-rate story: the government keeps inflating because its own policy keeps
producing data that confirm the tradeoff it believes in.
