multiplicity is a form of policy complementarity. Specifically, prices set in the current period embed expectations about future … policy, and actual future policy responds to these same prices. For a range of values of the fundamental state variable — a … ratio of predetermined prices — there is complementarity between actual and expected policy, and multiple equilibria occur …

Various laws and policy proposals call for regulators to make use of the information reflected in market prices. We … focus on a leading example of such a proposal, namely that bank supervision should make use of the market prices of traded … market prices, prices adjust to reflect this use and potentially become less revealing. We show that the feasibility of this …
