TI - Recursive Models of Dynamic Linear Economics SN - 9780691180731 PY - 2014/// CY - Princeton and Oxford PB - Princeton University Press KW - Economics--Mathematical models KW - Society & Social Sciences KW - Psychology N2 - A common set of mathematical tools underlies dynamic optimization, dynamic estimation, and filtering. In Recursive Models of Dynamic Linear Economies, Lars Peter Hansen and Thomas Sargent use these tools to create a class of econometrically tractable models of prices and quantities. They present examples from microeconomics, macroeconomics, and asset pricing. The models are cast in terms of a representative consumer. While Hansen and Sargent demonstrate the analytical benefits acquired when an analysis with a representative consumer is possible, they also characterize the restrictiveness of assumptions under which a representative household justifies a purely aggregative analysis ER -
