Impulse response analysis for structural dynamic models with nonlinear regressors
DOI:10.1016/j.jeconom.2021.06.009.png)
Abstract
En 中文
We study the construction of nonlinear impulse responses in linear structural dynamic models that include nonlinearly transformed regressors. We derive the closed-form solution for the population impulse responses to a given shock and propose a control function approach to estimating these responses without taking a stand on how the remainder of the model is identified. Our plug-in estimator dispenses with the need for simulations and, unlike conventional local projection (LP) estimators, is consistent. A modified LP estimator is shown to be consistent in special cases, but less accurate in finite samples than the plug-in estimator. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
