We develop and implement a limited information diagnostic strategy for assessing the plausibility of monetary business cycle models. Our strategy focuses on a model's ability to reproduce empirical estimates of an actual economy's response to monetary policy shocks. A key input to this...

This paper presents a quantitative general equilibrium model with multiple monetary aggregates.

We use a variant of the model to...
