Transmission Channel Analysis in Dynamic Models
动态模型中的传导渠道分析
We propose a framework for analysing transmission channels in a large class of dynamic models. We formulate our approach both using graph theory and potential outcomes, which we show to be equivalent. Our method, labelled Transmission Channel Analysis (TCA), allows for the decomposition of total effects captured by impulse response functions into the effects flowing through transmission channels, thereby providing a quantitative assessment of the strength of various…
