Title:Factor Analysis in a Model with Rational Expectations
Author(s):BEYER, Andreas; FARMER, Roger E. A.; HENRY, Jérôme; MARCELLINO, MassimilianoDate:2008-01-01Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:DSGE models are characterized by the presence of expectations as explanatory variables. To use these models for policy evaluation, the econometrician must estimate the parameters of expectation terms. Standard estimation ...
