چکیده

This paper compares the forecasting performance of some leading models of inflation for the cross section of G-7 countries. We show that bivariate and trivariate models suggested by economic theory or statistical analysis are hardly better than univariate models. Phillips curve specifications fit well into this class. Significant improvements in both the MSE of the forecasts and turning point prediction are obtained with time varying coefficients models which exploit international interdependencies. The performance of the latter class of models is independent of the sample, while it is not the case for standard specifications.

Firms decide product speci cations at the beginning of the game, in which autarky is followed by trade liberalization (whose date is anticipated). Our analysis suggests that a rm located in a large (or rich) country is the like...

Without credible regulation and strong supervision, the shareholders of this institution might deliberately let its managers take excessive risk. We propose a solution to this problem, showing how insurance against systemic shocks can be provided without generating moral hazard. The s...

Estimating Overidentified, Nonrecursive Time-Varying Coefficients Structural VARs

This paper provides a method to estimate time varying coe¢ cients structural VARs which are non-recursive and potentially overidenti…ed. The procedure allows for linear and non-linear restrictions on the parameters, maintains the multi-move structure of standard algorithms and can be used to estimate structural models with di¤erent identi…cation restrictions. We study the transmission of moneta...
