This paper provides a reverse mode derivative for DSGE models. Reverse mode differentiation enables the efficient computation of gradients from the model likelihood to the model parameters. These gradients can then be used by derivative based sampling algorithms including the No U-Turn Sampler....

Investors who arbitrage between long term government debt and corporate debt expand the Portfolio Balance Channel in that the effects of QE spill over to the overall cost of corporate borrowing. I find that overall the Federal Reserve's second round of Large-Scale Asset Purchases (LSAPII) boosts...

In this paper, we examine the ability of Fisher effect to describe the subjective behaviour of monetary policy responses for nations constrained by global factors. We developed and estimated a simple DSGE model for appraising the consequence of an integrated financial market predictor on...

We simulate the fiscal stimulus packages set up by the German government to allevi-ate the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic in a dynamic New Keynesian multi-sectorgeneral equilibrium model. We find that, cumulated over 2020-2022, output lossesrelative to steady state can be reduced by more than 4...

Structural macroeconometric analysis and new HANK-type models with extremely high dimensionality require fast and robust methods to efficiently deal with occasionally binding constraints (OBCs), especially since major developed economies have again hit the zero lower bound on nominal interest...

Existing methods for estimating nonlinear dynamic models are either highly computationally costly or rely on local approximations which often fail adequately to capture the nonlinear features of interest. I develop a new method, the discretization filter, for approximating the likelihood of...

We analyze the economic effects of a debt-to-income constraint for the Finnish economy. Our benchmark is a DSGE model which is designed to capture the most prominent features of the Finnish economy and is calibrated using Finnish macroeconomic data. The baseline model incorporates a...
