Markov-switching rational expectations (MSRE) models can yield fresh insights beyond what linear rational expectations (LRE) models have done for macroeconomics, as Davig and Leeper (2007) and Farmer, Waggoner and Zha (2009), among others, have noted and predicted. A lack of tractable...

In a general class of Markov-switching rational expectations models, this study derives necessary and sufficient conditions for determinacy, indeterminacy and the case of no stable solution. Classification of the models into these three mutually disjoint and exhaustive subsets is completely...

We develop a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for equilibria to be determinate in a class of forward-looking Markov-switching rational expectations models, and we develop an algorithm to check these conditions in practice. We use three examples, based on the new Keynesian model of...
