4 Uncertainty Literature Firms Large literature that models cyclical variations in factor reallocation as transmission mechanism, e.g. Bachmann and Bayer (2013) or Bloom et al (2012) Households Rep. agent model Fernandez-Villaverde et al. (2011) measure fiscal policy risk, Born & Pfeiffer (2011) measure policy and TFP risk ZLB Basu & Bundick (2011) examine the effect of aggr. TFP and demand risk with particular focus on monetary policy constrained by the zero-lower bound 3 / 30

6 Uncertainty Literature Households cont d (Het. agent models with incomplete markets) Storesletten et al. (2001) with flexible prices (focus on asset prices) Guerrieri and Lorenzoni (2012) labor supply effect of uncertainty. Mericle (2012) looks at a setup with fixed wages (partial equilibrium). Raven and Sterk (2013) focus on unemployment-risk (long-vs. short-term) and search. 4 / 30
7 Empirical facts Why household income uncertainty? Magnitude up to two orders of magnitude larger than TFP risk Time-varying at business cycle frequency. In fact, countercyclical Storesletten et al (2001) find that STD of earnings is 126% higher in recessions 5 / 30

18 Recursive competitive equilibrium A recursive competitive equilibrium in our basic model is a set of policy functions {c, m }, value functions V, pricing functions {w, π}, aggregate real money and labor supply functions { M, N}, distribution Θ over individual money holdings and productivity, and a perceived law of motion Γ, such that Given V, Γ, prices, and distributions, the policy functions {c, m } solve the household s problem and given the policy functions{c, m }, prices and distributions, the value function V is a solution to the Bellman equation. The labor, goods and money market clear M P t = m t ( m t 1, h t ; Θ t, s t )Θ t ( m t 1, h t )d m t 1 dh t =: A (Θ t, s t ) The actual law of motion and the perceived law of motion Γ coincide, i.e. Θ = Γ(Θ, s ). 15 / 30
19 Numerical implementation more Recursive equilibrium is not computable Krusell-Smith equilibrium (1998) Prices are a function of the endogenous distribution over wealth and idiosyncratic productivity Log-linear equilibrium forecasting rule for inflation depends on the uncertainty state, the real money stock and the variance of idiosyncratic productivity 16 / 30
