Additive uncertainty and certainty equivalence are perhaps best seen as devices to allow the incorporation of some stochastic elements into a model without the complications that arise in more meaningful encounters with uncertainty. In the case of multiplicative uncertainty, the most well known result is William Brainard’s conclusion that policy should be somewhat more cautious in this case.
