Meta-analysis: A Tool for Upgrading Inputs of Macroeconomic Policy Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meta-analysis is a research method to synthesise previously obtained research results. It is best seen as a statistical approach towards reviewing and summarising the literature. This paper aims to introduce and critically review the research method of meta-analysis and to illustrate its potential use in applied economic policy analysis. Special attention will be paid to the possibilities for value transfer and the possibilities to improve the calibration of existing macroeconomic policy models. JEL codes: B40, C80 Key-words: meta-analysis, value transfer, research synthesis

متن کاملRule-based of Monetary Policy in Iran Inspired by McCallum Rule
Economists have reached a consensus that an independent central bank could improve its policy efficiency by following a monetary policy rule. One of the important rules is McCallum rule where that requires central banks to target the growth rate of nominal GDP using the monetary base as its instrument. One of the features of the McCallum rule uses the monetary base rather than the interest rate...
متن کاملMonetary Policy Effects on Energy Supply and Demand and Macroeconomic Variables with SUR
This paper uses from a New Keynesian model with microeconomic approach to survey effective channels of monetary policy in Iran on supply and demand of energy (oil and natural gas). This paper surveys effective factors on energy supply and demand in Iran and uses from data of 1969-2014 and SUR method for estimation. For analysis effects of energy price on macroeconomic variables from demand side...
متن کاملData mining for decision making in engineering optimal design
Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Monetary and Financial Shocks on the Key Macroeconomic Variables, Focusing on the Intermediary Role of Banks Using DSGE Models
This study investigates monetary and financial shocks on macroeconomic variables, focusing on the role of banking intervention. For this purpose, a Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model is designed for Iran’s economy that involves financial and banking sectors. The results of the model simulation show that the financial accelerator theory works in the Iranian economy. Al...
