Indeterminacy and imperfect information

چکیده
We study equilibrium determination in an environment where two types of agents have different information sets: Fully informed observe histories all exogenous and endogenous variables. Less only a strict subset the full set need to solve dynamic signal extraction problem gather about variables they do not directly observe. Both know structure model form expectations rationally. In this environment, we identify new channel that generates indeterminacy: Optimal processing less agent introduces stable dynamics into equation system lead self-fulling expectations. For parameter values imply unique under information, limited rational is indeterminate. illustrate our framework with monetary policy models imperfectly central bank follows interest rate rule.

Imperfect competition and indeterminacy of aggregate output
This paper shows imperfect competition can lead to indeterminacy in aggregate output in a standard DSGE model with imperfect competition. Indeterminacy arises in the model from the composition of aggregate output. In sharp contrast to the indeterminacy literature pioneered by Benhabib and Farmer [3] and Gali [19], indeterminacy in our model is global; hence it is more robust to structural param...
متن کاملIndeterminacy of intertemporal equilibria under imperfect competition
It is known that overlapping generations models with imperfectly competitive firm may exhibit a continuum of stationary equilibria. The reason of this indeterminacy is that different price expectation functions of consumers lead to different objective demand functions against which firm maximize. All these expectation functions fulfil perfect foresight in the equilibrium, but they can be arbitr...
متن کاملReputation and Imperfect Information
A common observation in the informal literature of economics (and elsewhere) is that in multistage “games,” players may seek early in the game to acquire a reputation for being “tough” or “benevolent” or something else. But this phenomenon is not observed in some formal game-theoretic analyses of finite games, such as Selten’s finitely repeated chain-store game or in the finitely repeated priso...
متن کاملImperfect Information, Democracy, and Populism∗
The modern world is complex and difficult to understand for voters, who may hold beliefs that are at variance with reality. Politicians face incentives to pander to voters’ beliefs to get reelected. We analyze the welfare effects of this pandering and show that it comes along with both costs and benefits. Moreover, we explore optimal constitutional design in the presence of imperfect informatio...
متن کاملBiased Beliefs and Imperfect Information
Biased Beliefs and Imperfect Information We perform an incentivized experiment designed to assess the accuracy of beliefs about characteristics and decisions. Subjects are asked to declare some specific choices and characteristics with different levels of observability from an external point of view, and typically formed through real world experiences. From the less observable mobile phone purc...
