The rational expectations hypothesis presupposes — basically for reasons of consistency — that agents have complete knowledge of all of the relevant probability distribution functions. When trying to incorporate learning in these models — trying to take the heat of some of the criticism launched against it up to date — it is always a […]

Expectations play a central role in the transmission of monetary policy, but how people form expectations is widely debated. We revisit optimal monetary policy design in a model with behavioural expectations that nest rational and adaptive learning beliefs as special cases, and approximates several alternative expectations theories, such as myopic or level-k expectations. Optimal policy is a weighted average inflation target plus adjustments for belief persistence and constraints faced by the central bank (information frictions and the zero lower bound). Optimal policy is well-approximated in all cases by flexible average inflation targeting, where we make explicit what average and flexible mean.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, because the chemical plant jaundicing the region was ordered by a court to create an alternative, protected footpath for local residents.

Because I could not stop for Death, I paid $1,600 every month to COBRA until I died of measles, about which the doctors—and not the podcast my mom likes—were correct.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical, naked, but the nice thing about working from home is that I can make my own schedule.

Let us go then, you and I, and your brother and sister, and maybe your aunt, to the school board meeting, to see if we can preserve the two library books that are not the Bible.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself until my sister tells me I will have to move out or go back on my meds (which I refuse to do, because of Big Pharma and the globalists and one other thing Rogan said that I forget).
