Workshop: How should DSGE models be estimated?

Wednesday, 16 December 2015

The University joins forces with the Economic Analysis Research Group, Bank of England and the Money, Macro and Finance Research Group to present the workshop ‘How should DSGE models be estimated?’ on Friday 18 December, Henley Business School G15, 12:30 – 17:45. 

This joint research workshop is open to staff, and intends to discuss current methods and key problems in the estimation of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models that are fundamental to the macroeconomy of both academic and policymaking institutions. 

The session intends to revisit the main issues in light of the frontier of research in this field from a theoretical/macroeconomic perspective as well as from an econometric/statistical standpoint. Dr Alexander Mihailov from the Department of Economics will present one of four papers to be discussed during the workshop.  

The workshop has been structured to be of interest to university researchers, central banks, government departments, and international institutions which rely on DSGE models in their everyday work. PhD students specialising in macroeconomics and macroeconometrics will find the workshop of immediate interest and usefulness too.

This workshop supports the University of Reading Research Strategy Theme 'Prosperity and Resilience'.
