Approximating Time Varying Structural Models With Time Invariant Structures

Fabio Canova, Filippo Ferroni and Christian Matthes

No 15-10, Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

Abstract: The paper studies how parameter variation affects the decision rules of a DSGE model and structural inference. We provide diagnostics to detect parameter variations and to ascertain whether they are exogenous or endogenous. Identifi cation and inferential distortions when a constant parameter model is incorrectly assumed are examined. Likelihood and VAR-based estimates of the structural dynamics when parameter variations are neglected are compared. Time variations in the financial frictions of Gertler and Karadi's (2010) model are studied.
