In the framework of Knightian uncertainty more precisely in the model introduced by Epstein and Schneider 3 different questions concerning the aspect of time-consistency, in the sense of m-stability or rectangularity, are studied.The first part describes an alternative description of...

We consider long-run behavior of agents assessing risk in terms of dynamic convex risk measures or, equivalently, utility in terms of dynamic variational preferences in an uncertain setting. By virtue of a robust representation, we show that all uncertainty is revealed in the limit and agents...

In this paper we give an alternative characterization for time-consistent sets of measures in a discrete setting. For each measure \mathbb{P} in a time-consistent set \mathcal{P} we get a distinct set of predictable processes which in return decribe the \mathbb{P} uniquely. This implies we get a...

This dissertation consists of two essays in international macroeconomics. Thefirst essay shows that optimal fiscal and monetary policy is time consistent in astandard small open economy. Further, there exist many maturity structuresof public debt capable of rendering the optimal policy time...
