"This paper provides a simple dynamic optimization model of durable goods inventories. Closed-form solutions are derived in a general equilibrium environment with imperfect information and serially correlated shocks. The model is then applied to scrutinize some popular conjectures regarding the...

"We analyze optimal monetary policy in an endogenous sticky price model. Similar models with exogenous sticky prices can deliver multiplicity of equilibria. Multiplicity of equilibria is a necessary condition for expectation traps to explain the variation across time and countries of inflation...

"This paper proposes a new tractable approach to solving asset allocation problems in situations with a large number of risky assets which pose problems for standard numerical approaches. Investor preferences are assumed to be defined over moments of the wealth distribution such as its skewness...
