Abstract

This paper examines the forecasting performance of DSGE models with and without banking intermediation for the US economy. Over the forecast period 2001-2013, the model augmented with a banking sector leads to an improvement of point and density forecasts for inflation and the short term interest rate, while the better forecast for output depends on the forecasting horizon/period. To interpret this finding it is crucial to take into account parameters instabilities showed by a recursive-window estimation. Moreover, rolling estimates of point forecasts show that a banking sector helps improving the forecasting performance of output and inflation in the recent period.
