This article develops a solution method, which integrates a transversality condition representing the terminal condition of a dynamic model with an infinite horizon into the solution of a macroeconomic rational expectations model. Thus this transversality condition can be used to decrease the...

Linear models with infinite horizon generally admit infinitely many rational expectations solutions. Consequently, some additional selection devices are needed to narrow the set of relevant solutions. The viewpoint of this paper is that a solution will be more likely to arise if it is locally...

This paper considers inference and model diagnostics for log-linearized DSGE models allow- ing an unknown subset of parameters to be weakly (including un-) identified. The framework allows for latent state variables, measurement errors and also permits analysis using only part of the spectrum,...

This paper considers a prototypical monetary business cycle model for the U.S. economy, in which the equilibrium is undetermined if monetary policy is ‘inactive? In previous multivariate studies it has been common practice to restrict parameter estimates to values for which the equilibrium is...
