Computational Economics, 2002, vol. 20, issue 3, 117-38

Abstract: The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is the most popular method of transforming data in the Real Business Cycle (RBC) literature. An algorithm to invert the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is described. This algorithm is applied, using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, to the problem of evaluating a simple RBC model. The problem of determining the optimal smoothing parameter for the HP filter is also studied. Copyright 2002 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
