Abstract

We summarize some methods useful in formulating and solving Hansen-Sargent robust control problems, and suggest extensions to discretionary and simple rule policies. Matlab and Gauss software is provided. Applications to the term structure of interest rates and to the time inconsistency of optimal monetary policy illustrate these extensions.

Keywords: robustness, model uncertainty, Schur decomposition, discretion, simple rules
