We review the methods used in many papers to evaluate DSGE models by comparing their simulated moments with data … moments. We compare these with the method of Indirect Inference to which they are closely related. We illustrate the …

We evaluate the Smets-Wouters model of the US using indirect inference with a VAR representation of the main US data series. We find that the original New Keynesian SW model is on the margin of acceptance when SW's own estimates of the variances and time-series behaviour of the structural errors...

Bayesian econometric method that uses conjugate conditionals to make the estimation of DSGE models with correlated disturbances …The dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models that are used to study business cycles typically assume that … disturbances resolves some conflicts between estimates from DSGE models and those from vector autoregressions, and that a key …

We examine a two country model of the EU and the US. Each has a small sector of the labour and product markets in which there is wage/price rigidity, but otherwise enjoys flexible wages and prices with a one quarter information lag. Using a VAR to represent the data, we find the model as a whole...

We develop a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with an heterogeneous banking sector. We introduce endogenous default probabilities for both firms and banks, and allow for bank regulation and liquidity injection into the interbank market. Our aim is to understand the interactions...

One of the leading methods of estimating the structural parameters of DSGE models is the VAR-based impulse response … the application of the delta method holds. Our analysis sheds new light on the choice of the weighting matrix and covers … both weakly and strongly identified DSGE model parameters. We also show that under our assumptions special care is needed …

We extend the method of indirect inference testing to data that is not filtered and so may be non-stationary. We apply … the method to an open economy real businss cycle model on UK data. We review the method using a Monte Carlo experiment and …
