Abstract
⺠We study Ramsey problems in which a planner confronts three types of ambiguity when designing economic policy rules. ⺠We use martingales to characterize alternative probability specifications and to specify formally three types of ambiguity. ⺠We adopt recursive formulations for three related commitment problems in which a Ramsey planner seeks to be robust.
