Fair use rationale for Image:Prescott picture.jpg
Image:Prescott picture.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Dr. Hughes Hallett's comment on this article
Dr. Hughes Hallett has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"Nobel prize, para 2: "....moral hazard[8].

This was a problem identified by Bellman (1961) and depends on the model of the economy having both forward looking expectations and backward looking dynamics so that the constrained objective function does not have the "Markov property" (be recursively additively separable, either forwards or backwards). No solution was given, which gave rise to a literature on commitment solutions as a way to solve such problems after the Prescott-Kydland paper was published. It is also avoided in longer policy periods where the economy has a minimum degree of dynamic controllability [13].
