Inside a Modern Macroeconometric Model
by Alan A. Powell and Christopher W. Murphy
Published 1 January 1995
This work presents an account of how a state-of-the-art macro model is built, and how it works. Throughout, the emphasis is on providing the reader with a hands-on appreciation of the underlying economics, and of the model's practical implementation. The model described is an example of the newer breed of macro models that: (a) have strong micro foundations; (b) incorporate rational expectations in financial markets; (c) converge over simulated time to an interpretable balanced growth path; and (d) draw on the strengths of many different traditions in economics.
