Estimation of Macroeconomic Models
William Chen

Macroeconomic models require efficient estimation methods when used in policy analysis. Recent additions to DSGE.jl expand its toolkit with state-of-the-art routines for constructing and analyzing Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models. Additions include DSGE-Vector Autoregressions (DSGEVAR), Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), and potentially a “double-parallel” Bayesian algorithm.
