Comment on “Imperfect Knowledge, Inflation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a very nice paper. The main points are important, the structure is simple and clear, and I find the key arguments persuasive. In my comments I’m going to begin by summarizing the heart of the Orphanides-Williams argument. Then I will locate their paper within the rapidly growing literature on learning and monetary policy. Finally I will return to their paper and offer a number of specific comments on natural extensions or alternative approaches.

But the studies show that the consideration of imperfect products in lot sizing or inflation and time value of money is varying the optimal lot size, therefore consideration of these two factors in lot sizing is ...
