We estimate a DSGE model where rare large shocks can occur, but replace the commonly used Gaussian assumption with a Student's t-distribution. Results from the Smets and Wouters (2007) model estimated on the usual set of macroeconomic time series over the 1964-2011 period indicate that 1) the...

We then employ our model to estimate the … overall economic cost of the COVID-19-induced uncertainty shock under different scenarios.
