| Robust Permanent Income and Pricing with Filtering (2000) | |||||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| A planner and agent in a permanent income economy cannot observe part of the state, regard their model as an approximation, and value decision rules that are robust across a set of models. They use robust decision theory to choose allocations. Equilibrium prices reflect the preference for robustness and so embody a `market price of Knightian uncertainty'. We compute market prices of risk and compare them with a model that assumes that the state is fully observed. We use detection error probabilities to constrain a single parameter that governs the taste for robustness. | |||||||||||||||||
