Aggregate shocks and macroeconomic fluctuations: A bayesian approach
总量冲击与宏观经济波动:贝叶斯方法
Abstract This paper describes Bayesian techniques for analysing the effects of aggregate shocks on macroeconomic time‐series. Rather than calculate point estimates of the response of a time‐series to an aggregate shock, we calculate the whole probability density function of the response and use Monte‐Carlo or Gibbs sampling techniques to evaluate its properties. The proposed techniques impose identification restrictions in a way that includes the uncertainty in these…
