Abstract

In this thesis we introduce a new bootstrap method for testing structural DSGE models according to their dynamic performance. The method maintains a separation between the structural (non-linear) model as the null hypothesis and its dynamic time series representation. The model's errors are discovered and used for bootstrapping (after whitening) the resulting pseudo-samples are used to discover the sampling distribution of the dynamic time series model. The test then consists of discovering whether the parameters of the time-series model estimated on the actual data lie within some confidence interval of this distribution. A test statistic for the parameters taken as a whole is developed (the M-metric, a Wald statistic).
