We develop methods to solve general equilibrium models in which forward-looking agents are subject to waves of pessimism, optimism, and uncertainty that turn out to critically affect macroeconomic outcomes. Agents in the model are fully rational, conduct Bayesian learning, and they know that...

While high uncertainty is an inherent implication of the economy entering the zero lower bound, deflation is not, because agents are likely to be uncertain about the way policymakers will deal with the large stock of debt arising from a severe recession. We draw this conclusion based on a...

We develop and estimate a general equilibrium model in which monetary policy can deviate from active inflation stabilization and agents face uncertainty about the nature of these deviations. When observing a deviation, agents conduct Bayesian learning to infer its likely duration. Under...

Previous studies have shown that a random-matching model with divisible at money and without constraint on agents …' money inventories possesses a continuum of stationary single-price equilibria.

In … such an environment with discounting, the endogenous heterogeneity of money balances among agents implies differences in … marginal valuation of money between distinct pairs of traders, which raises the question whether decentralized trade would …
