As in Evans, Guse and Honkapohja (2008), we find that under normal monetary and fiscal policy the intended steady state is locally but not globally stable. Unstable deflationary paths can arise after large pessimistic shocks to expectat...
متن کاملMisperceptions, heterogeneous expectations and macroeconomic dynamics
We investigate the extent to which misperceptions about the economy can become self reinforcing and thereby contribute to time-varying macroeconomic dynamics. To do so, we build a New Keynesian model with long-horizon expectations and dynamic predictor selection. Because agents solve multiperiod optimisation problems (households maximise expected lifetime utility and rms maximise the discounte...
