Abstract
⺠Stochastic volatility and model uncertainty interact to imply animal spirits. ⺠Animal spirits induce business cycle fluctuations in response to volatility shocks. ⺠Robust Control is used to characterize the agent's aversion to model uncertainty. ⺠Perturbation and Monte Carlo methods are used to capture worst case distributions. ⺠Fluctuations in animal spirits are quantitatively relevant for macro volatility.
