Centre for International Macroeconomic Studies - Workshop 1
Thursday 19 August 2010
This is a `working’ workshop focusing on introducing three features into core DSGE models: CES production, non-zero steady state inflation and one-step estimation of the detrending method and the model. The third paper proposes a new way of formulating Taylor rules in DSGE models, so perhaps this too should also be part of the new ‘workhorse model’.
