Model averaging, optimal inference, and habit formation
Postulating that the brain performs approximate Bayesian inference generates principled and empirically testable models of neuronal function-the subject of much current interest in neuroscience and related disciplines. Current formulations address inference and learning under some assumed and particular model. In reality, organisms are often faced with an additional challenge-that of determinin...
متن کاملOptimal Monetary Policy in a Model with Habit Formation
A number of recent papers have explored monetary policy options, including inflation targeting and inflation forecast targeting (notably Svensson (1999a, 1999b, 2000)) and price level targeting (Wolman 2000, Batini and Yates 1999, Blinder 1999). Most papers explore “optimal” monetary policy in the context of a single model. However, a number of conclusions made in the literature depend strongly...
متن کاملOptimal Nonlinear Income Taxation with Habit Formation∗
It has recently been shown that incorporating “keeping up with the Joneses”preferences into a prototypical two-ability-type optimal nonlinear income tax model leads to higher marginal tax rates for both types of agents. In particular, the high-skill type faces a positive marginal tax rate, rather than zero as in the conventional case. In this paper, agents’utility functions are postulated to ex...
متن کاملOptimal tax policy under habit formation and capital utilization
Our objective is to investigate, how the combination of habit formation with endogenous capital utilization decisions affects the process of economic growth. We find that in the presence of positive productivity growth, habit formation in consumption reduces the rate of capital utilization while increasing the long run stock of capital. We show in the Chamley–Judd result of zero income capital ...
متن کاملProjections in Model Space: Multi-model Inference Beyond Model Averaging
A reviewer of the manuscript challenged us to do two things. First, to move beyond simple likelihood ratio examples and show how evidential ideas are used in the practice of science. And, second to solve some deep problem in ecology using this framework. To answer the first challenge, we discuss information criteria differences as a natural extension of the likelihood ratio that overcomes many ...
