Price-level volatility and welfare in incomplete markets with sunspots
In an economy with incomplete financial markets as described by Cass (1989), there is typically a continuum of equilibria driven by sunspots.

However, this paper shows that a sunspot equilibrium with lower price-volatility is superior in economic welfare to one with higher price-volatility based on a compensation ...
متن کاملOptimal Price Indices for Targeting Inflation under Incomplete Markets

In this paper, we develop a twosector two-good closed economy new Keynesian model to study the optimal choice of price index in markets with financial frictions. Financial frict...

Unlike either the complete-markets paradigm or Bewley-type models where idiosyncratic risk impacts only labor income, here it is shown that capital taxation may actually stimulate capital accumulation. Thi...
