Chetan Dave - Böcker

Structural Macroeconometrics provides a thorough overview and in-depth exploration of methodologies, models, and techniques used to analyze forces shaping national economies. In this thoroughly revised second edition, David DeJong and Chetan Dave emphasize time series econometrics and unite theoretical and empirical research, while taking into account important new advances in the field. The authors detail strategies for solving dynamic structural models and present the full range of methods for characterizing and evaluating empirical implications, including calibration exercises, method-of-moment procedures, and likelihood-based procedures, both classical and Bayesian. The authors look at recent strides that have been made to enhance numerical efficiency, consider the expanded applicability of dynamic factor models, and examine the use of alternative assumptions involving learning and rational inattention on the part of decision makers. The treatment of methodologies for obtaining nonlinear model representations has been expanded, and linear and nonlinear model representations are integrated throughout the text.The book offers a rich array of implementation algorithms, sample empirical applications, and supporting computer code. Structural Macroeconometrics is the ideal textbook for graduate students seeking an introduction to macroeconomics and econometrics, and for advanced students pursuing applied research in macroeconomics. The book's historical perspective, along with its broad presentation of alternative methodologies, makes it an indispensable resource for academics and professionals.

This book provides an introduction to the study of dynamic general equilibrium economic models: time can either be modelled in a discrete or continuous fashion, and the environment may be either deterministic or stochastic — this generality accommodates both business cycle and economic growth modelling.The purpose of the book is to teach first the tools employed in modern macroeconomic theory and second the topics most often encountered in macroeconomic debate. While the focus of the textbook is on macroeconomic modelling, the tools that are employed can also be applied to other fields in economics; for example, natural resource and environmental economics and industrial organization. Throughout the text the reader is exposed to both methodology and applications — the scope and reach of a reader's own modelling is of course entirely a function of her own ingenuity with economic questions of interest.
