چکیده
* This paper grew out of the Panel Discussion of the workshop " SDGE Models and their use in monetary policy " , held at the European Central Bank, June 5-6, 2001. I would like to thank the participants of the TSM conference in Touluse for comments and suggestions.

Bayesian forecasting with small and medium scale factor-augmented vector autoregressive DSGE models
Advanced Bayesian methods are employed in estimating dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. Although policymakers and practitioners are particularly interested in DSGE models, these are typically too stylized to be taken directly to the data and often yield weak prediction results. Hybrid models can deal with some of the DSGE model misspeci cations. Major advances in Bayesian est...
متن کاملPredictive Likelihood Comparisons with DSGE and DSGE-VAR Models
In this paper we treat the issue of forecasting with DSGE and DSGE-VAR models, with particular attention to Bayesian estimation of the predictive distribution and its mean and covariance. As a novel contribution to the forecasting literature, which extends beyond (log-linearized) DSGE models and DSGE-VARs, we show how the value of the h-step-ahead marginal and joint predictive likelihood for a ...
متن کاملOn the predictability of time-varying VAR and DSGE models
Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in DSGE modelling for predicting macroeconomic uctuations and conducting quantitative policy analysis. Hybrid DSGE models have become popular for dealing with some of the DSGE misspeci cations as they are able to solve the tradeo¤ between theoretical coherence and empirical t. However, these models are still linear and they do not con...
متن کاملThe Impact of Monetary and Exchange Policies on the Country’s Trade balance Fluctuation with the Approach of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models
This paper uses the framework of new Keynesian school and the literature of the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model to build a general model that can be estimated for Iran economy. By simulating this model, the effects of the implementation of monetary and foreign exchange policies through policy instruments including bank interest rate, central bank international reserves and t...
متن کاملAre Policy Counterfactuals Based on Structural VARs Reliable?∗
Based on standard New Keynesian models I show that policy counterfactuals based on the theoretical structural VAR representations of the models fail to reliably capture the impact of changes in the parameters of the Taylor rule on the (reduced-form) properties of the economy. Based on estimated models for the Great Inflation and the most recent period, I show that, as a practical matter, the pr...
