Analyzing Linear DSGE models: the Method of Undetermined Markov States
I show that a class of Linear DSGE models with one endogenous state variable can be represented as a three-state Markov chain. I develop a new analytical solution method based on this representation, which amounts to solving for a vector of Markov states and one transition probability. These two objects constitute sufficient statistics to compute in closed form objects that have routinely been computed numerically: impulse response function, cumulative sum, present discount value multiplier. I apply the method to a standard New Keynesian model that features optimal monetary policy with commitment.

An essay on the history of DSGE models
Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models are nowadays a crucial quantitative tool for policy-makers. However, they did not emerge spontaneously. They are built upon previously established ideas in Economics a…
validIncorporating Damped Harmonic Oscillator in DSGE Models
This paper integrates the damped harmonic oscillator into DSGE models to better capture delayed economic adjustments. By introducing a damping coefficient, I model economic recoveries as under-damped, critically damped, …
Non-linear approximations of DSGE models with neural-networks and hard-constraints
Recently a number of papers have suggested using neural-networks in order to approximate policy functions in DSGE models, while avoiding the curse of dimensionality, which for example arises when solving many HANK models…
