【abstract】

we develop a general equilibrium business cycle model with imperfectly observed neutral and investment-specific technology shocks. the model response to neutral technology shocks is similar to the response in an environment with perfect information. however the response to an investment-specific shock is more persistent and depends on the distance between agent expectations and actual values at the time of impact. an erroneous signal about technology -- a "noise shock" -- also alters agent behavior persistently, even when the underlying fundamentals governing the economy are unchanged, and even when the noise is not persistent.
