6 5 I. INTRODUTION Esmaed dynamc sochasc general equlbrum models are wdely used by moneary and fscal auhores for polcy analyss and forecasng purposes. Ths class of srucural macroeconomerc models has many varans ncorporang a range of nomnal and real rgdes and ncreasngly ofen macrofnancal lnkages. Is unfyng feaure s he dervaon of approxmae lnear equlbrum condons from consraned opmzaon problems facng households and frms whch nerac wh governmens n an unceran envronmen o deermne equlbrum prces and quanes under raonal expecaons. Developng and esmang a dynamc sochasc general equlbrum model of he world economy dsaggregaed no a large number of naonal economes presens unque challenges. dequaely accounng for nernaonal busness cycle comovemen requres suffcen spllover ransmsson channels n parcular nernaonal fnancal lnkages. opng wh he curse of dmensonaly whch manfess hrough explosons of he numbers of varables and parameers as he number of economes ncreases requres argeed parameer resrcons. Ths paper develops a srucural macroeconomerc model of he world economy dsaggregaed no fory naonal economes. Ths panel dynamc sochasc general equlbrum model feaures a range of nomnal and real rgdes exensve macrofnancal lnkages and dverse spllover ransmsson channels. Followng Smes and Wouers (23) he model feaures shor run nomnal prce and wage rgdes generaed by monopolsc compeon saggered reopmzaon and paral ndexaon n he oupu and labor markes. Followng hrsano Echenbaum and Evans (25) he resulan nera n nflaon and perssence n oupu s enhanced wh oher feaures such as hab perssence n consumpon adjusmen coss n nvesmen and varable capal ulzaon. Followng Galí (211) he model ncorporaes nvolunary unemploymen hough a renerpreaon of he labor marke. Households are dfferenaed accordng o wheher hey are bank nermedaed capal marke nermedaed or cred consraned. ank nermedaed households have access o domesc banks where hey accumulae deposs whereas capal marke nermedaed households have access o domesc and foregn capal markes where hey rade fnancal asses. Followng Vek (213) hese capal marke nermedaed households solve a porfolo balance problem allocang her fnancal wealh across domesc and foregn money bond and sock marke secures whch are mperfec subsues. To cope wh he curse of dmensonaly argeed parameer resrcons are mposed on he opmaly condons deermnng he soluon o hs porfolo balance problem avodng he need o rack he evoluon of blaeral asse allocaons.

Fnally followng onacell (25) he model accouns for shor run ncomplee exchange rae pass hrough wh shor run nomnal prce rgdes generaed by monopolsc compeon saggered reopmzaon and paral ndexaon n he mpor markes. n approxmae lnear sae space represenaon of he model s esmaed by ayesan maxmum lkelhood condonal on pror nformaon concernng he generally common values of srucural parameers across economes. varey of moneary polcy analyss fscal polcy analyss macroprudenal polcy analyss spllover analyss and forecasng applcaons of hs esmaed panel dynamc sochasc general equlbrum model of he world economy are demonsraed. These nclude quanfyng he moneary fscal and macroprudenal ransmsson mechansms accounng for busness cycle flucuaons and generang forecass of nflaon and oupu growh. The moneary fscal and macroprudenal ransmsson mechansms as quanfed wh esmaed mpulse response funcons are broadly n lne wh he emprcal leraure as are he drvers of busness cycle flucuaons as accouned for wh esmaed hsorcal decomposons. Sequenal uncondonal forecass of nflaon and oupu growh domnae a random walk n erms of predcve accuracy by wde margns on average across economes and horzons.
