A covariance-stationary vector of variables has a Wold representation whose coefficients can be semi-parametrically estimated by local projections (Jordà, 2005). Substituting the Wold representations for variables in model expressions generates restrictions that can be used by the method of...

As noted in surveys by Goodfriend and King (1997) and Walsh (1998) and exemplified by models analyzed in Taylor (1999), there is encouraging progress in developing optimizing trend-deviation macro models that provide useful insights into the transmission and design of monetary policy. Several...

This paper discusses four potential sources of lag dynamics in inflation: non-rational behavior, staggered contracting, frictions on price adjustment, and shifts in the long-run inflation anchor of agent expectations (the perceived inflation target). Expressions for inflation dynamics from...
