Re: estimating natural GDP using kalman filter
Thank you very much for your answer, Trubador. I am sorry for this late response. It took me a while to reply. As you suggested, I tried to build a state space representative with a constant drift term in a trend equation. Harvey(1985) and Clark(1987) suggest the following model. Y(t) = T(t) + C(t) ...

Re: estimating natural GDP using kalman filter
Thank you for your super prompt reply. I have some more questions here. 1. In carrying out an OLS estimation for the unknown parameter values, how should I handle the drift term, sv2? What I want is to get the growth rate of potential output. If we assume that sv2 denotes the rate of drift, it may b...

estimating natural GDP using kalman filter
Dear Eviews useres, I am trying to get potential GDP per capita using kalman filter method. I followed Clark(1987) model which has a random walk with drift in the stochastic trend component. 1950-2004 GDP per capita data from Penn World Table 6.2 was used. The stat space representation in Eviews is ...
