Since May 2004, Slovenia has been a member state of the European Union. Although trade barriers had been removed to a large extent with the progressing accession negotiations, participation in the EU is further fostering the European economic integration of the new member states. One important...

In this paper we provide probability forecasts of key Turkish macro economic variables such as inflation and output growth. Some probabilistic forecasts of different scenarios associated to those variables are also calculated. The probability forecasts take different types of uncertainties...

This paper develops a structural macroeconometric model of the world economy, disaggregated into thirty five national economies. This panel unobserved components model encompasses an approximate linear panel dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model featuring a monetary transmission...

This paper explores the role that the imperfect knowledge of the structure of the economy plays in the uncertainty surrounding the effects of rule-based monetary policy on unemployment dynamics in the euro area and the US. We employ a Bayesian model averaging procedure on a wide range of models...

The Financial Instability Hypothesis associated with Hyman Minsky has profound implications for the conduct of monetary policy in modern capitalist economies. At its core is the proposition that the central bank may contribute to the financial fragility of leveraged fi rms in its pursuit of infl...

Analizie poddano modele ekonometryczne z parametrami generowanymi przez niestacjonarny proces stochastyczny. Przedstawiono i omówiono trzy konstrukcje (model Cooleya-Prescotta model ze zbieżnymi parametrami Rosenberga, oraz model z filtrami Kalmana). Podano obszerną listę...

Many macroeconometric models are built to understand business cycles and (possibly) to predict recessions. But the methods applied to assess them are rarely of the form that one learns either whether they provide a good explanation of cycle characteristics or whether they can predict recessions....

This paper considers structural models when both I(1) and I(0) variables are present. It is necessary to extend the traditional classification of shocks into permanent and transitory and we do this by introducing a mixed shock. The extra shocks coming from introducing I(0) variables into a...
