Bayesian Analysis of the Output Gap
产出缺口的贝叶斯分析
Our objective is to build output gap estimates that benefit from information provided by Phillips curve theory and business cycle studies. For this, we develop a Bayesian analysis of the bivariate Phillips curve model proposed by Kuttner for estimating potential output. Given our priors, we obtain samples from parameters and state variables joint posterior distribution following a Gibbs sampling strategy. We sample the state variables given parameters using the Carter–Kohn…
