We embed a news shock, a noisy indicator of the future state, in a two-state Markovswitching growth model. Our framework, combined with parameter learning, features rich history-dependent uncertainty dynamics. We show that bad news that arrives during a prolonged economic boom can trigger a...

We suggest to extend the stacking procedure for a combination of predictive densities, proposed by Yao et al in the journal Bayesian Analysis to a setting where dynamic learning occurs about features of predictive densities of possibly misspecified models. This improves the averaging process of...

Based on OECD evidence, equity/housing-price busts and credit crunches are followed by substantial increases in public consumption. These increases in unproductive public spending lead to increases in distortionary marginal taxes, a policy in sharp contrast with presumably optimal Keynesian...
