Empirical and Theoretical Coherence of Macroeconometric Models

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Variants of the G-Cubed models are used by researchers, governments and international institutions for policy analysis. The need for policy makers to have models with substantial structural detail and a strong theoretical base is paramount for transparency and accountability. The development of simple SVAR models which capture these theoretical underpinnings will provide Australian policy makers with an effective tool for economic analysis. It will also provide powerful tools that enable forecasting and detailed policy analysis within the same broad conceptual framework. The emphasis is on international and financial market linkages which encompass key issues facing the Australian economy.
