Dynare is a software platform for handling a wide class of economic models, in particular dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. The models solved by Dynare include those relying on the rational expectations hypothesis, wherein agents form their...

The objective of this paper is to examine the main features of optimal monetary policy cooperation within a micro-founded macroeconometric framework. First, using Bayesian techniques, we estimate a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model for the United States (US) and the...

This paper presents first the estimation of a two-country DSGE model for the euro area and the rest-of-the-world including relevant oil-price channels. We then investigate the optimal resolution of the policy tradeoffs emanating from oil-price disturbances. Our simulations show that the...

The objective of this paper is to examine the main features of optimal monetary policy within a micro-founded macroeconometric framework. First, using Bayesian techniques, we estimate a medium scale closed economy DSGE for the euro area. Then, we study the properties of the Ramsey allocation...

Advances in the development of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models towards medium-scale structural frameworks with satisfying data coherence have considerably enhanced the range of analytical tools well-suited for monetary policy evaluation. The present paper intends to make a...

This article provides a detailed description of a canonical DSGE model and presents the methods used for its estimation and simulation. Then, we conduct two monetary policy experiments using the estimated model. The first one assesses the impact on the social welfare of changes in the...

[eng] Our article describes the Bayesian approach to the most highly regarded dynamic models in macroeconomics : DSGE (dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium) models and VAR (vector autoregressive) models. We present the main concepts in Bayesian analysis and show how to apply them to VAR...

[eng] The authors illustrate the usefulness of the Bayesian approach in economic-policy assessment, which typically relies on simulations. We describe a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DGSE) model for the euro zone. The Bayesian estimation of the model measures parameter-related...

Dans la lignée de Svensson (1999) cet article se propose de reconsidérer la question du choix de la cible pour la banque centrale, selon les deux alternatives cible d'inflation ou cible de niveau de prix, sous une courbe de Phillips de type nouveau keynésien. Nos résultats tendent à plaider...

This paper aims to resolve the conflict between the time series approach and the classical approach to test the convergence hypothesis. Using a multivariate KPSS statistic and allowing for one common break, it appears that European productivity dynamics may be split into two sub-periods. During...
