Parameter estimates of structural economic models are often difficult to interpret at the light of the underlying economic theory. Bayesian methods have become increasingly popular as a tool for conducting inference on structural models since priors offer a way to exert control over the...

This paper introduces a new solution method for Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models that produces non explosive paths. The proposed solution method is as fast as standard perturbation methods and can be easily implemented in existing software packages like Dynare as it is...

Using an overlapping generations model, this paper describes interactions between nai͏̈ve and sophisticated hyperbolic discounters in general equilibrium. The nai͏̈fs, who overestimate their future propensity to save and hence over-forecast the future equilibrium asset prices, are exploited...
