We outline a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model with trend extrapolation in asset pricing that we fit to quarterly U.S. macroeconomic time series with Bayesian techniques. To be more precise, we modify the DSGE model in Smets and Wouters (2007) by incorporating asset traders who...

The Hausman-MaCurdy Controversy - Why Do Results Differ Between Studies?

Eklof, M.; Sacklen, H. - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1997

The two perhaps most influencial empirical labor supply studies carried out in the US in recent years, Hausman (1981) and MaCurdy, Green & Paarsch (1990), report sharply contradicting labor supply estimates.In this paper we seek to uncover the driving forces behind the seemingly irreconcilable...
