EMMA - A Quarterly Model of the Estonian Economy

Rasmus Kattai ()

No 2005-12, Bank of Estonia Working Papers from Bank of Estonia

Abstract: This paper describes the first version of Eesti Pank\'s structural macro-econometric model EMMA. EMMA belongs to the second generation of macro models, with Neo-Classical supply determined long run properties and Keynesian demand driven short run adjustment. The model has been designed for forecasting as well as for simulation exercises. In order to fulfil both tasks, the emphasis has been put on capturing the main characteristics of the Estonian economy. The model describes a very small and open economy, in which long run economic growth and inflation are strongly influenced by real and nominal convergence towards EU15 levels.
