Tests of Policy Interventions in DSGE Models∗
This paper considers tests of the effectiveness of a policy intervention, defined as a change in the parameters of a policy rule, in the context of a macroeconometric dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. We consider two types of intervention, first the standard case of a parameter change that does not alter the steady state, and second one that does alter the steady state, e.g. ...
متن کاملPolicy Analysis Using DSGE Models: An Introduction
n recent years, there has been a significant evolution in the formulation and communication of monetary policy at a number of central banks around the world. Many of these banks now present their economic outlook and policy strategies to the public in a more formal way, a process accompanied by the introduction of modern analytical tools and advanced econometric methods in forecasting and polic...
متن کاملMacroeconomic Policy in DSGE and Agent-Based Models
The Great Recession seems to be a natural experiment for macroeconomics showing the inadequacy of the predominant theoretical framework — the New Neoclassical Synthesis — grounded on the DSGE model. In this paper, we present a critical discussion of the theoretical, empirical and political-economy pitfalls of the DSGE-based approach to policy analysis. We suggest that a more fruitful research a...
متن کاملA Forecasting Metric for Evaluating DSGE Models for Policy Analysis
This paper applies a new Bayesian framework laid out in Faust and Gupta (2009) for evaluating the suitability of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models for the task of monetary policy analysis. The paper characterizes practical monetary policy analysis as determining how intended policy should be revised in light of the structural interpretation of incoming news. The news is defin...
متن کاملEvaluating DSGE Models for Monetary and Fiscal Policy Analysis
This paper evaluates the suitability of current DSGE models for monetary policy analysis from a Bayesian perspective, recognizing that these models may be useful even if they are misspecified along some dimensions, using the framework laid out in Faust and Gupta (2009). The paper argues that practical monetary policy analysis deals with determining how intended policy should be revised in light...
