6 The stripped down model: preview We have news and noise News shocks. Fundamental: a t = a t 1 + ε t 1 Agents know ε t Agents decisions depend on ε t. What if agents (and econometrician) face a signal extraction problem? Signal: s t = ε t + v t Consumption: c t = lim j E(a t+j I t ) What happens if one tries to identify shocks ε t and v t?

8 In this paper Two contributions: New VAR approach: identify economic shocks in a situation where agents can only observe a noisy signal. Investigate the role of noise (v t ) and news (ε t ) as sources of business cycle fluctuations. Main results: 1. Noise (v t ) and news (ε t ) together explain more than half of the fluctuations of GDP, consumption and investment. 2. One third of fluctuations is due to noise (v t ) shocks.
9 Motivation (1/2) Renewed interest in the idea (Pigou, 1927) that news about future changes in fundamentals can generate business cycles through changes in expectations.
10 Motivation (1/2) Renewed interest in the idea (Pigou, 1927) that news about future changes in fundamentals can generate business cycles through changes in expectations. Many papers assume perfect information (Beaudry and Portier, 2006): agents observe ε t (but maybe not the econometrician...).
11 Motivation (1/2) Renewed interest in the idea (Pigou, 1927) that news about future changes in fundamentals can generate business cycles through changes in expectations. Many papers assume perfect information (Beaudry and Portier, 2006): agents observe ε t (but maybe not the econometrician...). Economic fluctuations are generated by expected changes in future economic conditions which always materialize.
12 Motivation (2/2) Few works have relaxed the assumption of perfect observability.
13 Motivation (2/2) Few works have relaxed the assumption of perfect observability. Imperfect information: agents receive imperfect signals about economic fundamentals (among others, Lorenzoni, 2009, Angeletos and La O, 2010, Blanchard, Lorenzoni and L Huillier, 2012, BLLH, Barsky and Sims, BS, 2011).

16 Implications (1/3) Imperfect shocks observability very intriguing and realistic idea but has dramatic implications for empirical analysis based on VAR models. Let s see why.
17 Implications (2/3) In a VAR, the innovation e t is function of present and past Y : e t = Y t proj(y t Y t 1, Y t 2,...)
18 Implications (2/3) In a VAR, the innovation e t is function of present and past Y : e t = Y t proj(y t Y t 1, Y t 2,...) If agents do not observe the shocks, current and past realizations of the data cannot provide enough information to estimate the shocks (non-fundamentalness). (More)

If agents do not observe the shocks, current and past realizations of the data cannot provide enough information to estimate the shocks (non-fundamentalness). (More) Structural shocks ε t do not contemporaneously live in the agents innovations: ε t Ke t

If agents do not observe the shocks, current and past realizations of the data cannot provide enough information to estimate the shocks (non-fundamentalness). (More) Structural shocks ε t do not contemporaneously live in the agents innovations: ε t Ke t Implication: standard VAR analysis will fail.

25 A simple model (1/3) Fundamental: a t = a t 1 + ε t 1, where ε t is white noise. Agents observe a noisy signal: s t = ε t + v t v t, the noise shock, is a white noise, uncorrelated with ε t.
26 A simple model (1/3) Fundamental: a t = a t 1 + ε t 1, where ε t is white noise. Agents observe a noisy signal: s t = ε t + v t v t, the noise shock, is a white noise, uncorrelated with ε t. Agents information set: I t = span(a t k, s t k, k 0).

Agents information set: I t = span(a t k, s t k, k 0). Consumption is set on the basis of expected long-run fundamentals c t = lim j E(a t+j I t )
