In the first paper, written in 1977 “Rules Rather than Discretion: The inconsistency of optimal planning” Prescott and Kydland argue that purpose and goals of economic planning and policy is to trigger a desired response from the economy. However, Prescott and Kydland realized that these sectors are made up of individuals, individuals who make assumptions and predictions about the future. As Prescott and Kydland stated Even if there is a fixed and agreed upon. Know the timing and magnitude of the effects of their actions… Correct evaluation of the end-of-point position does not result in the social objective being maximized. Prescott and Kyland were pointing out that agents in the economy already factor into their decision making the assumed response by policy makers to a given economic climate. Additionally Prescott and Kydland felt that the policy makers due to their relationship with government suffered from a credibility issue. The reason for this dynamic is that the political process is designed to fix problems and benefit its citizens today. Prescott and Kydland demonstrated this with a simple yet convincing example. However, rational agents are forward planning creatures and know that if they and others build houses in the flood plain the government which makes decisions based on current situations will then provide flood protection in the future. While Prescott never uses these words he is describing a moral hazard. The second paper, written in 1982, “Time to Build and Aggregate Fluctuations” Prescott and Kydland argued that shifts in supply typically caused by changes and improvements in technology accounted Not only long term increases in living standards but also to many of the short term fluctuations in business cycles. To study this hypothesis Prescott established a model to study the change in output, investment, consumption, labor productivity, and employment, between the end of the Second World War and 1980. Using this model the two economists were able to correlate 70% of the fluctuation in output to changes and growth in technology. Their main contribution, however, was the way of modeling macroeconomic variables with microfoundations. View more great items. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Autographs\Historical”.
