Taking Multi-Sector Dynamic General Equilibrium Models to the Data
Dixon, Huw; Kara, Engin - 2011
We estimate and compare two models, the Generalized Taylor Economy (GTE) and the Multiple Calvo model (MC); that have … to those of the standard models such as the Calvo and its popular variant, using the ad hoc device of indexation. The …

Sticky Prices vs. Sticky Information – A Cross-Country Study of Inflation Dynamics
Bredemeier, Christian; Goecke, Henry - 2011
This paper empirically compares sticky-price and sticky-information Phillips curves considering inflation dynamics in six countries (US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, and Japan). We evaluate the models' abilities to match empirical second moments of inflation. Under baseline calibrations, the two...

Testing for Parameter Stability in DSGE Models. The Cases of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain
Jerger, Jürgen; Röhe, Oke - 2012
We estimate a New Keynesian DSGE model on French, German, Italian, and Spanish data. The main aim of this paper is to check for the respective sets of parameters that are stable over time, making use of the ESS procedure ('Estimate of Set of Stable parameters') developed by Inoue and Rossi...

Money in a New-Keynesian model estimated with German data
Werner, Thomas; Lombardo, Giovanni; Kremer, Jana - 2003
In this paper we estimate a simple New-Keynesian DSGE model with German data for the sample period 1970:q1 to 1998:q4. Contrary to a number of recent similar papers estimated with US and euro-area data, we find that real money balances contribute significantly to the determination of inflation...

Identifying the role of labor markets for monetary policy in an estimated DSGE model
Christoffel, Kai Philipp; Küster, Keith; Linzert, Tobias - 2006
We focus on a quantitative assessment of rigid labor markets in an environment of stable monetary policy. We ask how wages and labor market shocks feed into the inflation process and derive monetary policy implications. Towards that aim, we structurally model matching frictions and rigid wages...

Commodity Price Shocks and the Business Cycle: Structural Evidence for the U.S.
Gubler, Matthias; Hertweck, Matthias S. - 2011
This paper develops a 9-dimensional SVAR to investigate the sources of the U.S. business cycle. We extend the standard set of identified shocks to include unexpected changes in commodity prices. Our main result is that commodity price shocks are a very important driving force of macroeconomic...
