Business Cycle Analysis and VARMA Models
An important question in empirical macroeconomics is whether structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) can reliably discriminate between competing DSGE models. Several recent papers have suggested that one reason SVARs may fail to do so is because they are finite-order approximations to infinite-order processes. In this context, we investigate the performance of models that do not suffer from t...

The joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) is a signal processing technique in which signals are represented in both the time domain and the frequency domain simultaneously. Recently, this analysis technique has become an extremely powerful tool for analyzing nonstationary time series. One basic problem in business-cycle studies is how to deal with nonstationary time series. The market economy is...

متن کاملMonetary Business Cycle Models: Imperfect Information∗
Business cycle theories based on incomplete information start from the premise that key economic decisions on pricing, investment or production are often made on the basis of incomplete knowledge of constantly changing aggregate economic conditions.

Within the standard RBC model, we examine issues of expectational coordination on the unique rational expectations equilibrium. Our study rst provides a comprehensive assessment of the sensitivity of agentsplans and decisions to their short-run and long-run expectations.
