A propos de l'auteur

Written by Lars Peter Hansen (Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2013) and Thomas Sargent (Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2011), Uncertainty within Economic Models includes articles adapting and applying robust control theory to problems in economics and finance. This book extends rational expectations afficher plus models by including agents who doubt their models and adopt precautionary decisions designed to protect themselves from adverse consequences of model misspecification. This behavior has consequences for what are ordinarily interpreted as market prices of risk, but big parts of which should actually be interpreted as market prices of model uncertainty. The chapters discuss ways of calibrating agents' fears of model misspecification in quantitative contexts. afficher moins

A truly remarkable work of fiction: so chock full of proofs and scalar product operations, even knowledgeable readers will be tempted to believe that economics is after all a science. But, alas, it is nearly all bullshit. Interesting contributions are the use of min-max in a valiant attempt to attribute rationality to the irrational behavior of the fabled homo economicus, and work to distinguish between market price of model uncertainty and market price of risk.
