We compare local and global polynomial solution methods for DSGE models with Epstein-Zin-Weil utility. We show that model implications for macroeconomic quantities are relatively invariant to choice of solution method but that a global method can yield substantial improvements for asset prices...

This paper discusses issues related to GPU for Economic problems. It highlights new methodologies and resources that are available for solving and estimating economic models and emphasizes situations when they are useful and others where they are impractical. Two examples illustrate the...

How does public information on asset payoffs affect private information acquisition and aggregated market information? In turn, how do private information and market information affect asset price volatility and liquidity? What are the roles of information costs and market competitivity? To...

Can public information complement private information acquisition? What are the implicationsfor asset market performance? Our paper investigates by constructing a simple bond market in thelaboratory. Human investors observe public information on default probability and then, beforetrading,...
