Macro - Econometric System Modelling

چکیده
We summarize the history of macroeconometric system modelling as having produced four generations of models. Over time the principles underlying the model designs have been extended to incorporate eight major features. Because models often evolve in response to external events we are led to ask what has happened to models used in the policy process since the financial crisis on 2008/9. We find that models have become smaller but that there is still no standard way of capturing the effects of such a crisis.

The state of macro-economic modelling
The first is based upon the seminal work of Nobel Prize winner Larry Klein in his 1947 paper. This has two basic components. First, an essentially Keynesian system of macro-theoretical relationships. Second, fitting curves (planes) through empirical macrodata using econometric (statistical) techniques to estimate parameters for these theoretical relationships. Over the past 60 years, the models...
متن کاملEffects of Fiscal and Monetary Policies on the Iranian Economy: An Optimal Control Approach
This paper evaluates the interacted effects of the fiscal and monetary policies on the nominal and real macro-variables of the Iranian economy. Our analysis is thus based on the optimal control theory by which the optimal path of the control variables including monetary and fiscal tools are determined over the period 1963-2006. We also use a macro-econometric model in form of a simultaneous equ...

متن کاملAn Analysis of a Macro-Econometric Model with Rational Expectations in the Bond and Stock Markets
The difficulty of accounting for expectational effects in macro-economic models is well known. The standard procedure in dealing with this problem in the construction of large-scale macro-econometric models is to use current and lagged values as “proxies” for expected future values. An alternative procedure is to assume that expectations are rational. Although the assumption of rational expecta...

This contribution is deliberately application-oriented. Conversely, the considered application introduces new circumstances and helpful designs for the graph techniques and interpretations. This study seeks to improve the knowledge of the the cyclical structure of macro-econometric models. The retained application is a recent academic model from Fair ’94 for the United States. This empirical ec...
