Criticism
Although, the more long-lasting impact of this paper has been methodological the Lucas island model fails to prove with empirical evidence the right amount of volatility in output fluctuations caused by a combination of monetary shocks and information limitation as is implied. Also, the assumption of information limitation in the Lucas model is sometimes not evident in real life scenarios.On a more empirical level, there is too little research on imperfect information as a source of price rigidity in models with perfectly flexible prices.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
