On Econometric Analysis of Structural Systems with Permanent and Transitory Shocks and Exogenous Variables

چکیده
This paper considers the implications of the permanent/transitory decomposition of shocks for identi cation of structural models in the general case where the model might contain more than one permanent structural shock. It provides a simple and intuitive generalization of the inuential work of Blanchard and Quah (1989), and shows that structural equations for which there are known permanent shocks must have no error correction terms present in them, thereby freeing up the latter to be used as instruments in estimating their parameters. The proposed approach is illustrated by a re-examination of the identi cation scheme used in a monetary model by Wickens and Motta (2001), and in a well known paper by Gali (1992) which deals with the construction of an IS-LM model with supply-side e¤ects. We show that the latter imposes more short-run restrictions than are needed because of a failure to fully utilize the cointegration information. JEL Classi cations: C30, C32, E10 Key Words: Permanent shocks, structural identi cation, error correction models, IS-LM models. The research of the rst author was supported by ARC Grant DP0449659.

متن کاملBusiness cycles in Iran: Evidence from asymmetry and correlated shocks
In this Paper, business cycle asymmetry in Iran has been investigated using a nonlinear unobserved component model. In this regard, according to Kim and Nelsonchr('39')s (1999) interpretation of Friedman plucking model (1993), asymmetric transitory component has been modeled and simultaneously the possibility of a correlation between transitory and permanent shocks has also been considered. The...
متن کاملEffect of Temporary and Permanent Shocks of Total Factor Productivity on the Demand for Agricultural Imports in Iran
Economic theories show that the direction and magnitude of the fluctuations of economic variables depend on the type and magnitude of the shocks they are faced with. Various reasons are noted for fluctuations in demands for imports, including productivity shocks. Accordingly, this research was aimed at identifying the effects of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) shocks of the agricultural sector ...
