Abstract

The paper addresses the Kydland and Prescott (1977) critique of the use of optimal control methods for macroeconomic policy design. The critique is that the optimal policy in models with rational expectations are time inconsistent i.e., it becomes suboptimal through the mere passage of time even in the absence of unanticipated shocks.
