Heterogeneous Agent Models with Threshold-Induced Switching
We consider a class of heterogeneous agent models in which the investment decisions of agents are triggered by price thresholds. Briefly, the current ‘strategy’ of each agent is defined by a pair of dynamic thresholds straddling the current price. When the price crosses either of the thresholds for a particular agent, that agent switches investment position and a new pair of thresholds is gener...
متن کاملIncomplete market dynamics and cross-sectional distributions
The size distributions of many economic variables seem to obey the double power law, that is, the power law holds in both the upper and the lower tails. I explain this emergence of the double power law—which has important economic, econometric, and social implications—using a tractable dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents subject to aggregate and idiosyncratic ...
متن کاملBootstrapping factor models with cross sectional dependence
We consider bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with cross sectional dependence among idiosyncratic errors. This is important to capture the bias of the OLS estimator derived recently by Gonçalves and Perron (2014). We first show that a common approach of resampling cross sectional vectors over time is invalid in this context because it induces a zero bias. We then propose the cr...
متن کاملMultiparameter models: Probability distributions parameterized by random sets
This paper is devoted to the construction of sets of joint probability measures for the case that the marginal sets of probability measures are generated by probability measures with uncertain parameters where the uncertainty of these parameters is modelled by random sets. Further we show how different conditions on the choice of the weights of the joint focal sets and on the probability measur...
متن کاملAlternative Methods for Solving Heterogeneous Firm Models
This paper implements and compares four alternative techniques for the solution of heterogeneous agents business cycle models within the lumpy capital adjustment framework. The widespread Krusell Smith algorithm consistently delivers high accuracy and economic implications quantitatively similar to other bounded rationality, projection-based approaches, but it does so at the cost of high comput...
