Solving and analyzing DSGE models in the frequency domain
本文提出在频域中求解线性理性预期模型的方法,推广了外生冲击的设定,并应用于新凯恩斯模型,发现贝叶斯分析更支持对数谐波函数而非标准AR(1)假设。
I solve multivariate linear rational expectations models in the frequency domain using the generalized Schur decomposition, providing a numerical implementation suitable for standard DSGE estimation and analysis procedures. This approach generalizes the time domain restriction of autoregressive-moving average exogenous driving forces to arbitrary covariance stationary processes. Applied to the standard New Keynesian model, I find that a Bayesian analysis favors a single parameter log harmonic function of the lag operator over the usual AR(1) assumption as it generates hump shaped autocorrelation patterns more consistent with the data.
