A monetary stochastic dynamic general equilibrium (DGE) model with a money-in-the-utility-function (MIU-) setup is augmented by habit formation in consumption and evaluated for both Taylor and Calvo price staggering. It is shown that in the benchmar...

These dependencies may manifest between several test cases, or simply within a single test case. When it’s left to developers to document, understand, and respond to these dependencies, a mistake can result in unexpected and invalid test results. Although current testing infras...
