In this paper, we study a model à la Rogoff (1990) where politicians distort fiscal policy to signal their competency, but where fiscal policy can be centralized or decentralized.

With centralization, there is the possibility of selecti...

This paper establishes properties of optimal forecasts under general loss functions, extending existing results obtained under speci c functional forms and data generating processes. We propose a new method that changes the probability measure under which the well-known properties of optimal forecasts under mean squared error loss can be recovered. We illustrate the proposed methods through an ...
