RARE SHOCKS, GREAT RECESSIONS
罕见冲击与大衰退
SUMMARY We estimate a DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) model where rare large shocks can occur, by replacing the commonly used Gaussian assumption with a Student's t ‐distribution. Results from the Smets and Wouters ( American Economic Review 2007; 97 : 586–606) model estimated on the usual set of macroeconomic time series over the 1964–2011 period indicate that (i) the Student's t specification is strongly favored by the data even when we allow for…
