The neoclassical growth model has emphasised the importance of technology shocks, which supposedly affect macroeconomic variables’ heterogeneously in a small open economy like Sierra Leone. Using Bayesian DSGE methodology for non-linear model, we found that investment-specific technological shock partly explains business cycle fluctuations Moreover, analysis indicates on output, capital, and co...

Lagrange multiplier methods are standard fare in elementary calculus courses, and they play a central role in economic applications of calculus because they often turn out to have interpretations as prices or shadow prices. You have seen them generalized to cover dynamic, non-stochastic models as Hamiltonian methods, or as byproducts of using Pontryagin’s maximum principle. In static models Lag...
