Liquidity traps and expectation dynamics: Fiscal stimulus or fiscal austerity?
We examine global dynamics under infinite-horizon learning in New Keynesian models where the interest-rate rule is subject to the zero lower bound. The intended steady state is locally but not globally stable. Unstable deflationary paths emerge after large pessimistic shocks to expectations. For large expectation shocks that push interest rates to the zero bound, a temporary fiscal stimulus, or...
متن کاملAccounting Discretion
This study investigates the factors affecting acquirers’ allocation of purchase price between goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. SFAS 142 replaces goodwill amortization with periodic impairment tests that are based on fair value estimates, while most identifiable intangible assets are still amortized over finite useful lives. As a result of the differential accountin...
متن کاملDiscretion, Rules, and Volatility
E conomic models with multiple equilib-ria, such as Diamond and Dybvig (1983), have become increasingly useful in analyzing volatility in financial markets and in business cycles. In many of these models, indeterminacy is a result of incomplete financial markets or technological nonconvexities. Here we identify economic policy discretion to be another distinct cause of indeterminate equilibrium...
متن کاملRegulatory Discretion and Compliance
This paper provides an empirical framework to evaluate regulatory discretion and apply it to California water quality regulation. We identify and estimate an adverse selection model of the regulator-discharger interaction to measure the extent to which the regulator’s environmental preferences and administrative or political costs affect penalties and compliance. We find that if the regulator p...
متن کاملA Study on Preference Orderings of Mathematical expectation, Expected Utility and Distorted Expectation
One of the challenges for decision-makers in insurance and finance is choosing the appropriate criteria for making decisions. Mathematical expectation, expected utility, and distorted expectation are the three most common measures in this area. In this article, we study these three criteria, and by providing some examples, we review and compare the decisions made by each measure.
