This paper deals with Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models under a multivariate student-t distribution for the structural shocks. Based on the solution algorithm of Klein (2000) and the gamma-normal representation of the t -distribution, the TaRB-MH algorithm of Chib and Ramamurthy (2010) is used to estimate the model. A technique for estimating the marginal likelihood of the DS...

This paper is intended to be pedagogical rather than a presentation of original research. We describe a simple dynamic, stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model with capital utilization, capital adjustment costs, and a simple Cobb-Douglas technology to illustrate how DSGE models can be used to explain the past and to forecast the future. We identify one method to directly estimate latent var...

This Paper describes a procedure for constructing theory restricted prior distributions for BVAR models. The Bayes Factor, which is obtained without any additional computational effort, can be used to assess the plausibility of the restrictions imposed on the VAR parameter vector by competing DSGE models. In other words, it is possible to rank the amount of abstraction implied by each DSGE mode...

the financial crisis of 2007 showed that the impact of financial markets on macroeconomic developments is deep. the labor market was affected by financial variables. this paper extends the new keynesian model of a stochastic dynamic general equilibrium (dsge) for the iran economy in three context of an open economy, consider a financial frictions and frictions labor market, the impact of financ...

This paper builds a small open economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model for Indonesia with state-dependent pricing (SDP) and studies its implications policy analysis. Variations in the extensive margin of price adjustment under SDP are shown to non-trivially affect model-generated variance decompositions impulse responses various shocks. DSGE model-based analyses conducted wi...

We examine solutions in which neither player is worse off from the leadership of one in a policy maker-public game. The loop model of dynamic games is used. Outcome space is dotted with equivalence classes of solutions. The Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) results and their New Keynesian variants might represent one category. The economy is the neighborhood of a market-clearing equ...

Most dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE) of the macroeconomy assume that labor is traded in a spot market. Two exceptions (Andolfatto [3], Merz [11]) combine the two-sided search model of Mortenson and Pissarides, [14], [13], [15] with a one-sector real business cycle model. These hybrid models are successful, in some dimensions, but they cannot account for observed volatility ...
