Abstract

This paper presents the Bank of Thailand’s new model based on the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) paradigm. The paper details the model structure of a small open economy, model parameterization, and model properties. The purpose of this DSGE model is to provide a coherent economic interpretation of the workings of the Thai economy consistent with microeconomic foundation.
