Rapid estimation of nonlinear DSGE models

Abstract

This article describes a new approximation method for dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. The method allows nonlinear models to be estimated efficiently and relatively quickly with the fully-adapted particle filter. The article demonstrates the method by estimating, on US data, a nonlinear New Keynesian model with a zero lower bound on the nominal interest rate.
