This paper aims at providing macroeconomists with a detailed exposition of the New Keynesian DSGE model. Both the sticky price version and the sticky information variant are derived mathematically. Moreover, we simulate the models, also including lagged terms in the sticky price version, and...

The paper presents econometric estimates of the capital-labor substitution elasticities in terms of 10 economic activities based on the 2003-2009 data. Elasticities are estimated in the context of computable general equilibrium (CGE) methodology, particularly, based on the constant elasticity of...

This article develops and estimates a dynamic general equilibrium overlapping-generations model of career decisions. The model is fit to data on life cycle employment, schooling, and occupation decisions and on life cycle labor earnings, within and between cohorts observed in the United States...

We conduct a Monte Carlo experiment using an ad-hoc New Keynesian model and a tractable agent-based model to generate artificial credit cycle episodes. We show that fluctuations in the implicit measures of the natural rate of interest obtained using a conventional trivariate Kalman filter on...
