In this model, asset prices are volatile, and price-earnings ratios are persistent, even though there is no fundamental uncertainty and financial markets are sequentially complete. I show that the model can explain a substantial risk premium while generating smooth time series for consumption.

  • Animal Spirits in a Monetary Model
    Animal Spirits in a Monetary Model By Roger E.A. Farmer and Konstantin Platonov∗ We integrate Keynesian economics with general equilibrium the- ory in a new way. We develop a simple graphical apparatus, the IS-LM-NAC framework, that can be used by policy makers to un- derstand how policy affects the economy. A new element, the NAC curve, connects the interest rate to current and expected future val- ues of the stock market and it explains how `animal spirits' influ- ence economic activity. Our framework provides a rich new ap- proach to policy analysis that explains the short-run and long-run effects of policy, without the assumption that prices are prevented from moving by artificial barriers to price adjustment. ∗ Farmer: Department of Economics, University of Warwick, National Institute of Economic and So- cial Research and Department of Economics, UCLA, [email protected]. Platonov: Department of Economics, UCLA, [email protected]. We would like to thank Gauti Eggertsson and Stephanie Schmitt-Groh´efor their discussion of our work. We also thank the participants at the Conference in Honor of Michael Woodford's Contributions to Economics, at the conference Applications of Behavioural Economics and Multiple Equilibrium Models to Macroeconomic Policy and participants at the UCLA macro and international finance workshops. We have both benefited from conversations with Giovanni Nicol`o. 1 2 UCLA WORKING PAPER JANUARY 2018 In the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis, a consensus developed among aca- demic macroeconomists that the problem of macroeconomic stability had been solved. According to that consensus, the New-Keynesian dynamic stochastic gen- eral equilibrium (DSGE) model provides a good first approximation to the way that monetary policy influences output, inflation and unemployment.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Essays on Keynesian Models of Closed and Open Economies A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Economics by Konstantin Platonov 2019 c Copyright by Konstantin Platonov 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Essays on Keynesian Models of Closed and Open Economies by Konstantin Platonov Doctor of Philosophy in Economics University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Roger E. Farmer, Chair My dissertation contributes to the macroeconomics of self-fulfilling prophecies. It demonstrates the importance of shocks to beliefs in accounting for aggregate fluctuations. The dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter is a paper joint with Roger E.A. Farmer. We integrate Keynesian economics with general equilibrium theory in a new way. We develop a simple graphical apparatus, the IS-LM-NAC framework, that can be used by policy makers to understand how policy affects the economy. A new element, the No-Arbitrage-Condition (NAC) curve, connects the interest rate to current and expected future values of the stock market and it explains how `animal spirits' influence economic activity. Our framework provides a rich new approach to policy analysis that explains the short-run and long-run effects of policy. The second chapter studies implications of self-fulfilling beliefs in open economies. Uncovered interest parity states that the carry trade should deliver zero profit, on average. The data robustly reject this hypothesis. In a large sample of countries, high interest rate currencies earn excess returns at short horizons and negative excess returns at longer horizons. I rationalize this observation in a two-country overlapping generations model with complete markets that features multiple dy- ii namic equilibria.
