In the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) literature there has been an increasing aware- ness on the role … that the banking sector can play in macroeconomic activity. We present a DSGE model with financial intermediation as in … crucial in any attempted empirical analysis. Since DSGE modelling usually fails to take into account inherent nonlinearities …

This paper examines whether the presence of parameter instabilities in dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE …) models affects their forecasting performance. We apply this analysis to medium-scale DSGE models with and without financial …

In line with … used to rank competing DSGE theories that aim to explain the same observed data (Geweke, 2005). Finally, motivated by the …

stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. We use the DSGE model priors to determine the moments of an independent Normal …-Wishart prior for the VAR parameters. Two hyper-parameters control the tightness of the DSGE-implied priors on the autoregressive … maximize the marginal likelihood of the Bayesian VAR provides a method for isolating subsets of DSGE parameter priors that are …
