Here are comments on Xavier Gabaix' "A Behavioral new-Keynesian model." Xavier presented at the Oct 21 NBER Economic Fluctuations as well as increment meeting, as well as I was the discussant. Slides here
Short summary: It's a actually of import paper. I shout upward it's also of import to hold upward true.
Gabaix' irrationality fixes the pathologies of the touchstone model past times making a stable model unstable, as well as so locally determinate. Gabaix' irrationality parameter one m inwards [0,1] tin thus substitute for the green Taylor regulation that involvement rates deed to a greater extent than than 1 for 1 amongst inflation.
Gabaix imagines -- afterwards iii papers worth of careful math -- that people pay less attending to futurity income when deciding on consumption than they should. Making today's consumption less sensitive to futurity income, agency expectations of futurity income are larger for whatever amount of today's consumption. Thus, it makes model dynamics unstable.
But exactly a picayune irrationality won't do. If y'all deed a stable eigenvalue, enjoin 0.8, past times a bit, enjoin 0.85, it's all the same stable. You convey to deed it all the way past times 1 earlier it does whatever adept at all.
Thus, Gabaix puts irrationality correct inwards the middle of monetary policy. If Gabaix is right, y'all only cannot explicate monetary policy inwards uncomplicated damage amongst coin furnish as well as coin demand, or involvement charge per unit of measurement rises lower investment as well as inflation via a Phillips curve, every bit uncomplicated approximations that to a greater extent than complex models, mayhap involving about irrationality, better on. Monetary policy is centrally nearly the Fed exploiting irrationality, total stop, as well as cannot hold upward explained or understood at all without that feature.
More inwards the comments. There are also many equations as well as figures to mirror it here, as well as then y'all convey to teach the pdf if you're interested. This is for academics anyway.
