Firm behaviour under uncertainty: a simple parametric model
In this paper, we model production technology in a state-contingent framework. We assume that all the firms use the same stochastic technology, but they may have different risk attitudes and information sets, and ex post they may operate in different production environments. Firms maximise ex ante their preference function subject to a stochastic technology constraint; in other words, they are ...
متن کاملA Model of Union Behaviour and Benefits under Uncertainty
for press This paper offers some results on the relationship between unemployment benefits and employment in a stochastic framework. The intention is not to provide an exhaustive analysis of this relationship but, rather, to investigate the effects of uncertain unemployment insurance in a unionised economy. Uncertainty about the system of unemployment benefits may be important for those enterin...
متن کاملA Simple Theory of Asset Pricing under Model Uncertainty
The focus of our paper is on the implications of model uncertainty for the crosssectional properties of returns. We perform our analysis in the context of a tractable single-period mean-variance framework. We show that there is an uncertainty premium in equilibrium expected returns on financial assets and study how the premium varies across the assets. In particular, the cross-sectional distrib...
متن کاملPartial Divestment and Firm Sale under Uncertainty
This paper studies optimal divestment policy of an investor in a rm that may partially and gradually divest its capital or sell the whole rm at once. Partial divestment o¤ers greater exibility while a whole- rm transaction provides a price premium. We show that, if the price premium includes both a xed and a proportional component, a large rm optimally starts to divest partial capital befo...
متن کاملRobustness of Simple Monetary Policy Rules under Model Uncertainty
In this paper, we investigate the properties of alternative monetary policy rules using four structural macroeconometric models: the Fuhrer-Moore model, Taylor’s Multi-Country Model, the MSR model of Orphanides and Wieland, and the FRB staff model. All four models incorporate the assumptions of rational expectations, short-run nominal inertia, and long-run monetary neutrality, but differ in man...
