This paper presents the concept of Model Validation applied to a Dynamic Stochastic General equilibrium Model (DSGE). The main problem discussed is the approximation of the statistical representation for a DSGE model when not all endogenous variables are observable. MonteCarlo experiments in...

Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models are the main tool used in Academia and in Central Banks to evaluate the business cycle for policy and forecasting analyses. Despite the recent advances in improving the fit of DSGE models to the data, the misspecification issue still remains....

COVID-19 crisis is changing our lifestyle and also how to teach at any educational level. Online delivery has become predominant. Educators have started to use new tools and methods to engage students who had to change their learning approach. An international survey with responses from 151...
