In this paper we estimate a Bayesian SDGE model using the computer program "Dynare" by Michel Juillard. We present an estimated open economy version of a model for the Euro area. This is an extension of the SDGE model by Smets and Wouters (2003). Based on input/output tables we present a number...

We develop a technique for analyzing the dynamics of shocks in structural linear rational expectations models. Our work differs from standard SVARs since we allow expectations of future variables to enter structural equations. We show how to estimate the variance-covariance matrix of fundamental...
