1,292 Citations2007Sungbae An, Frank Schorfheide
This paper reviews Bayesian methods that have been developed in recent years to estimate and evaluate dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models and applies these methods to data generated from correctly specified and misspecified linearized DSGE models.

A forecasting procedure based on a Bayesian method for estimating vector autoregressions is applied to ten macroeconomic variables and is shown to improve out-of-sample forecasts relative to univariate equations.

It is found that once one takes account of Greenbook’s advantage in evaluating the current state of the economy, neither large dataset methods, nor the Greenbook process offers much advantage over a univariate autoregressive forecast.
