RBC model estimation
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Model Estimation
● Calibrated parameter values were clearly presented and justified.
● Time series included in the estimation were clearly presented and justified.
● A regression table of estimation results is presented.
● Regression results are interpreted, including sign, significance, and economic validity. Results are compared with
results from related research, where applicable.
Post-Estimation Discussion
● Model steady-state and perturbation solution was re-computed using fitted values, and the new steady state was presented and briefly discussed.
● In-sample predictions for all time series are presented. Goodness-of-fit is discussed for each variable.
● Special comment is given to state variables that drive model dynamics (for example ). Note specific periods where
these variables capture specific shocks well/poorly, and theorize why that might be.
● Out-of-sample forecasts for all observed time series are presented. Goodness-of-fit is discussed.
● Impulse response functions for each variable/shock pair are presented and discussed.
