We study the implications of internal consumption habit for new Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (NKDSGE) models. Bayesian Monte Carlo methods are employed to evaluate NKDSGE model fit. Simulation experiments show that internal consumption habit often improves the ability of...

The appendix discusses computational aspects of the paper “Business Cycle Implications of Internal Consumption Habit for New Keynesian Models.” These topics range from solving the baseline new Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (NKDSGE) model, estimating the structural...
