Dynamic equilibrium economies: a framework for comparing models and data

No 1997-23, Finance and Economics Discussion Series from Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.)

Abstract: We propose a constructive, multivariate framework for assessing agreement between (generally misspecified) dynamic equilibrium models and data, which enables a complete second-order comparison of the dynamic properties of models and data. We use bootstrap algorithms to evaluate the significance of deviations between models and data, and we use goodness-of-fit criteria to produce estimators that optimize economically relevant loss functions. We provide a detailed illustrative application to modeling the U.S. cattle cycle.
