policy cooperation. The model is calibrated in order to match a set of empirical moments. We then derive the cooperative and … cooperation. For example, increasing the trade shares to 32 percent of GDP in both regions, the gains from cooperation rise to … about 1 percent of steady-state consumption. By decomposing the sources of the gains from cooperation with respect to the …

In this paper, we outline a version of the New Area-Wide Model (NAWM) of the euro area designed for use in the (Broad) Macroeconomic Projection Exercises regularly undertaken by ECB/Eurosystem staff. We present estimation results for the NAWM that are obtained by employing Bayesian inference...
