We develop a ten variable structural VAR model of the Australian economy for the period 1980 to 1995. The VAR methodology has not been widely applied in the Australian context, despite its popularity in quantitative macroeconomics internationally.

Dungey and Pagan (2000) present an SVAR model of the Australian economy which models macro-economic outcomes as transitory deviations from a deterministic trend. In this paper we extend that model in two directions. Firstly, we relate it to an emerging literature on DSGE modelling of small open...

We develop an 11-variable structural VAR for the Australian economy over the period 1980 to 1998. The VAR methodology has only relatively recently been applied in the Australian context, despite its popularity in quantitative macroeconomics internationally. Our model includes an overseas sector...

Monetary policy affects both real variables, such as employment, unemployment and output and nominal variables such as nominal interest and inflation rates. For close to a decade the principal focus of monetary policy has been on inflation. During a recession, or when one appears imminent, the...

This article places the data revision model of Jacobs and van Norden (2011) within a class of trend-cycle decompositions relating directly to the Beveridge--Nelson decomposition. In both these approaches, identifying restrictions on the covariance matrix under simple and realistic conditions may...

This paper concentrates upon the short-term changes in the exchange rate that might be considered as 'clouding' more fundamental changes. We focus on week to week changes in nominal bilateral exchange rates. The main concern of this paper is an attempt to identify the sources of exchange rate...
