| Description | The paper presents results of estimation of New Keynesian DSGE model with financial accelerator. The model is estimated using Bayesian methods on data of Czech economy. The models with and without financial accelerator are assessed how they fit the data using statistical moments and Bayesian factor. This exercise shows surprising result that the model without financial accelerator performs on data much better than model with it. |
