This paper introduces model uncertainty into a simple Lucas-type monetary model. Inflation depends on agents' expectations and a vector of exogenous random variables. Following (Branch and Evans 2004) agents are assumed to underparameterize their forecasting models. A Misspecification...

There exists by now a sizeable literature that studies the dynamics of adaptive learning in stochastic macroeconomic models. A common starting point is to postulate that economic agents use standard econometric techniques to estimate the unknown parameters of the stochastic process of the...

Monetary policy is sometimes formulated in terms of a target level of inflation, a fixed time horizon and a constant interest rate that is anticipated to achieve the target at the specified horizon. These requirements lead to constant interest rate (CIR) instrument rules. Using the standard New...
