Abstract

[fre] MZE, un modèle macroéconométrique pour la zone euro . . À partir des comptes trimestriels pour la zone euro construits par Eurostat, on élabore un modèle macroéconométrique dans le but d’enrichir les outils de prévision et d’analyse de l’économie de la zone. Quelques données manquantes cruciales doivent être reconstruites en s’appuyant sur des données incomplètes fournies par Eurostat (capital, revenu disponible des ménages, commerce intra-zone). La structure du modèle est néoclassique à long terme, néokeynésienne à court terme. Cette version du modèle prend comme référence pour l’offre de biens une fonction de production Cobb-Douglas. L’offre de travail est modélisée soit par une courbe de Phillips soit par une fonction WS et par un taux d’activité dépendant du taux de chômage. Le court terme implique des coûts d’ajustement modélisés de manière ad hoc par des modèles à correction d’erreur. Les effets variantiels à court terme et à long terme sont assez consensuels. Pour le long terme, le potentiel de l’économie apparaît dépendre de la population en âge de travailler, de la productivité globale des facteurs, du coût réel du capital, et éventuellement des termes de l’échange et de la fiscalité sur les salaires. D’ores et déjà, le modèle incorpore la possibilité d’utilisation en anticipations rationnelles pour l’étude des évolutions de changes et de taux à long terme. Un exercice de choix de la fonction de réaction monétaire est mené à titre illustratif des questions pouvant être abordées par le modèle. [spa] MZE, un modelo macroeconométrico para la zona euro . . Partiendo de unas cuentas trimestrales para la zona euro construidas por Eurostat, se elabora un modelo macroeconométrico para llegar a enriquecer las herramientas de previsión y de análisis de la economía de dicha zona. Deben reconstruirse unos cuantos datos faltantes cruciales, y con este fin nos basamos en unos datos incompletos facilitados por Eurostat (capital, renta disponible de los hogares, comercio intrazona). La estructura del modelo es neoclásica a largo plazo y neokeynesiana a corto plazo. Esta version del modelo toma como referente en cuanto a oferta de bienes una función de producción Cobb-Douglas. La oferta laboral se modeliza sea mediante una curva de Phillips sea mediante una función WS y por una tasa de actividad supeditada a la tasa de paro. El corto plazo implica unos costes de ajuste modelizados de manera ad hoc . por unos modelos de corrección de error. Los efectos varianciales a corto plazo y a largo plazo son bastante consensuales. En cuanto al largo plazo, el potencial de la economía parece depender de la población en edad de trabajar, de la productividad global de los factores, del coste real del capital, y eventualmente de la relación de intercambio y de la fiscalidad sobre los salarios. De momento, el modelo incluye la posibilidad de utilización en anticipaciones racionales para el estudio de las evoluciones de cambios y de tipos a largo plazo. Para ilustrar aquellas cuestiones que el modelo es capaz de tratar, se realiza aquí un ejercicio de opción de la función de reacción monetaria. [eng] MZE, a Macroeconometric Model for the Euro Zone . . We build a macroeconometric model from Eurostat’s quarterly euro zone accounts with the aim of enhancing the zone’s economic forecasting and analytic tools. Some crucial missing data have to be reconstructed from incomplete data provided by Eurostat (capital, households’ disposable income and trade within the zone). The model’s structure is neoclassical in the long run and neo-Keynesian in the short run. This version of the model takes a Cobb-Douglas production function as its reference for the goods supply. The labour supply is modelled either by a Phillips curve or by a WS function and a labour force participation rate depending on the unemployment rate. The short run entails adjustment costs modelled ad hoc by error correction models. The short-run and long-run variantial effects are fairly similar. The economy’s long-run prospects seem to depend on the working-age population, total factor productivity, the real cost of capital, and possibly terms of trade and payroll taxation. The model can now be used for rational expectations to study changes in exchange rates and long-term rates. An exercise is conducted to select a monetary reaction function to illustrate the questions that the model can address. [ger] MZE, ein makroökonometrisches Modell für den Euro-Raum . . Anhand der von Eurostat für den Euro-Raum erstellten vierteljährlichen Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung wird ein makroökonometrisches Modell erarbeitet, um die Prognose-und Analyseinstrumente für die Wirtschaft in diesem Raum zu bereichern. Einige wesentliche Daten fehlen und müssen deshalb mittels unvollständiger Daten rekonstruiert werden, die Eurostat liefert (Kapital, verfügbares Einkommen der Privathaushalte, Handel innerhalb des Euro-Raums). Die Struktur des Modells ist für den Langfristbereich neoklassisch und für den Kurzfristbereich neokeynsianisch. Bei dieser Modellversion wird als Referenz für das Güterangebot eine Cobb-Douglas-Produktionsfunktion herangezogen. Das Arbeitsangebot wird entweder durch eine Phillips-Kurve oder durch eine WSFunktion und durch eine von der Arbeitslosigkeit abhängige Erwerbsquote modelliert. Für den Kurzfristbereich bedarf es Anpassungskosten, die durch Fehlerkorrekturmodelle ad hoc modelliert werden. Bei den kurz-und langfristig variierenden Effekten herrscht weitgehend Übereinstimmung. Im Langfristbereich hängt das Wirtschaftspotenzial von der im erwerbsfähigen Alter befindlichen Bevölkerung, der globalen Produktivität der Faktoren, den realen Kapitalkosten sowie gegebenenfalls von der Austauschrelation und der Lohn-und Gehaltsbesteuerung ab. Bereits heute bietet das Modell die Möglichkeit, durch rationale Antizipation die Entwicklungen der Wechselkurse und der langfristigen Zinsen für die Untersuchung zu verwenden. Als Beispiel für die Fragen, die mit dem Modell untersucht werden können, wird die Funktion der monetären Reaktion gewählt.
