In a recent article Canova et al. (2014) study the optimal choice of variables to use in the estimation of a simplified version of the Smets and Wouters (2007) model. In this comment I examine their conclusions by applying a different methodology to the same model. The results call into question...

We would like to thank all the discussants for their stimulating comments. While our article to a large extent reviews current practice of Bayesian analysis of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models the discussants provide many ideas to improve upon the current practice, thereby...

We investigate identification issues in DSGE models and their consequences for parameter estimation and model … equivalence, partial and weak identification problems are widespread and typically produced by an ill-behaved mapping between the … structural parameters and the coefficients of the solution. Different objective functions affect identification and small samples …

I study the evolution of aggregate volatility in the US during the postwar period by assessing the relative role played by financial shocks, technological progress, and changes in the financial system. Balance-sheet variables of firms have been characterized by greater volatility since the early...
