Taking Multi-Sector Dynamic General Equilibrium Models to the Data

No E2012/8, Cardiff Economics Working Papers from Cardiff University, Cardiff Business School, Economics Section

Abstract: We estimate and compare two models, the Generalized Taylor Economy (GTE) and the Multiple Calvo model (MC), that have been built to model the distributions of contract lengths observed in the data. We compare the performances of these models to those of the standard models such as the Calvo and its popular variant, using the ad hoc device of indexation. The estimations are made with Bayesian techniques for the US data. The results indicate that the data strongly favour the GTE.
