Model Uncertainty and Endogenous Volatility
This paper identifies two channels through which the economy can generate endogenous inflation and output volatility, an empirical regularity, by introducing model uncertainty into a Lucas-type monetary model. The equilibrium path of inflation depends on agents’ expectations and a vector of exogenous random variables. Following Branch and Evans (2006a) agents are assumed to underparameterize th...
متن کاملEndogenous Uncertainty and Market Volatility
We advance the theory that the distribution of beliefs in the market is the most important propagation mechanism of economic volatility. Our model is based on the theory of Rational Beliefs (RB) and Rational Belief Equilibrium (RBE) developed by Kurz (1994, 1997). We argue that the diverse market puzzles which are examined, such as the equity premium puzzle, are all driven by the structure of m...
متن کاملEndogenous Uncertainty: A Unified View of Market Volatility
The theory of Rational Belief Equilibria (RBE) offers a unified paradigm for explaining market volatility by the effect of "Endogenous Uncertainty" on financial markets. This uncertainty is propagated within the economy (hence "endogenous") by the beliefs of asset traders. The theory of RBE was developed in a sequence of papers assembled in a recently published book (Kurz [1997]) and the presen...
متن کاملFire Sales and Endogenous Volatility
After the collapse of the housing bubble in 2007, severe fire sales of assets in the financial sector are accompanied by a rise in the volatility of asset returns in the non-financial firms. To account for their co-movements, I develop a model that highlights the interaction between the financial health of the banking sector and the volatility of asset returns. The novel feature of the model is...
متن کاملUncertainty, Volatility, and Growth Rate
This paper examines two related models, which permit analytical investigation, to gain some insights into a relationship between endogenous growth and business cycle. Using two simple models which incorporate Fisher Black’s idea that a significant part of business cycle fluctuations is a consequence of an economy’s choice, we obtained a negative relationship between uncertainty and growth. Henc...
