Self - Fulfilling Prophecies
After a quarter century of unbroken development in the theory of allocation under uncertainty, it has become an obvious fact that randomness in endowments, preferences or technology will generally work its way to the prices and allocations which prevail in equilibrium.

متن کاملSelf-fulfilling Prophecies and the Business Cycle
We demonstrate that multiple stationary rational-expectations equilibria exist in a version of Lucas’s island economy. The existence of these equilibria follows from the fact that there is an indeterminate set of monetary equilibria in the two-period overlappinggenerations model. We show how to construct stationary rational-expectations equilibria by randomizing over the set of nonstationary mo...
