We compare two approaches to using information about the signs of structural shocks at specific dates within a structural vector autoregression (SVAR): imposing 'narrative restrictions' (NR) on the shock signs in an otherwise setidentified SVAR; and casting the information about the shock signs...

We test the standard New Keynesian (NK) Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model under the condition with and without inattentive features, where inattentiveness is modelled in the form of sticky information and imperfect information data revision. All models are tested with the...

Cluster-robust inference is widely used in modern empirical work in economics and many other disciplines. The key unit of observation is the cluster. We propose measures of "high-leverage" clusters and "influential" clusters for linear regression models. The measures of leverage and partial...
