The VAR/SVAR (Vector Autoregressive and Structural Vector Autoregressive) models are the cornerstone of the contemporaneous empirical macroeconomic research, in particular for being able to measure the impact of fiscal policy shocks. They may be employed as atheoretical models, as well as a mean...

We analyse the (techno- and macro-)economic and distributive effects of a transformation to a renewable electricity system in Austria by 2030, as stipulated by the Austrian government. For the analysis, the macroeconomic model DYNK and ATLANTIS, a partial model of the electricity market, were...

In technical analysis, price supports and resistances play an important role. In line with the stochastic frontier analysis, we present a formal model to estimate the bottom price support for a stock or cryptocurrency. As an example, we examine Bitcoin’s bottom price

Energy efficiency can help facing the climate crises. Yet the energy intensity has decreased more slowly than it is required to achieve climate goals. Based on this premise, we build an agent-based model to study the effects of different policies on energy efficiency. Policies analysed range...

Optimal monetary policy studies typically rely on a single structural model and identification of model-specific rules that minimize the unconditional volatilities of inflation and real activity. In our proposed approach, we take a large set of structural models and look for the model-robust...

This paper outlines the three-country New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model of the National Bank of Belgium. The model is named BEMGIE for Belgian Economy in a Macro General and International Equilibrium model. It features imperfect market competition, standard real and...
