Abstract: | The effects of parameter uncertainty on optimal policy have been a matter of interest for academics, and even for some policymakers,
for a long time. Two lines of literature have developed analytical results on this matter. The first line uses static models
and the second dynamic models. In this dynamic line most of the results are confined to models with a single state and a single
control variable.
In this paper we want to encourage the analysis of more general dynamic cases. To do so, the results in the dynamic line are
extended from one-state and one-control finite horizon models to models with a pair of control variables. We then discuss
some of the hurdles which must be surmounted for the results to be made more general and suggests some lines for further research.
