Building on a substantial body of evidence in the economic psychology literature, this paper …

consistency in the choice of loss functions is crucial. First, for any given model, the loss function used in parameter estimation … evaluation loss functions are aligned. We also find that the PBS model outperforms a benchmark structural model when the … estimation loss functions are identical across models, but otherwise not. The new PBS model with aligned loss functions thus …

Both ways result … in identical central bank loss functions and policy rules. We also examine four equivalent methods of implementing …
