Abstract
The behavior of three markets with speculators is studied. Each market is for commodities that can be carried forward one period by two speculators. Demand in the first period is stationary from year to year and demand in the second period is randomly determined. The question posed by the research is the reliability of rational expectations models relative to autarky models, in explaining market behavior. The result is that the rational expectations model is more accurate.
