Dear users
I was trying to estimate the NAIRU from the following model
A dynamic Phillips curve
Dp=c(1)*Dp(-1)+c(2)*Dp(-2)+c(3)*(U-N)+c(4)*D(U-N)+e
where
D= first difference
P= inflation
U=unemployment rate
N=Nairu which it is assumed to follow a random walk
e=error term
2) N=N(-1)+v
v=error term
I wrote the SSpace model in the following way
@signal dinf= c(1)*dinf(-1)+c(2)*dinf(-2)+c(3)*(un_rate-nairu)+c(4)*(un_rate-un_rate(-1)-nairu+nairu2)+[var =exp(c(5))]
@state nairu=nairu(-1)+[var =exp(c(6))]
@state nairu2=nairu(-1)
I got very unsatisfying results. Is this due to a very bad specification of the SSPACE moder, or there are other reasons?
Thanks in advance for your help,
