We investigate the role of economic transparency within the framework of one of Townsend's models of "forecasting the forecasts of others". The equilibrium has the property that "higher order beliefs"; are coordinated into a finite-dimensional setup that is amenable to address monetary policy...

We show how macroeconomic dynamics can be derived from asymmetric information. As an illustration of the utility of this approach we derive the equilibrium density, non-equilibrium densities and the equation of motion for the response to a demand shock for productivity in a simple economy. Novel...

We study a dynamic information design problem in a finite-horizon setting consisting of two strategic and long-term optimizing agents, namely a principal (he) and a detector (she). The principal observes the evolution of a Markov chain that has two states, one "good" and one "bad" absorbing...
