Approximating multisector New Keynesian models

Author

  • Carvalho, Carlos
  • Nechio, Fernanda

Abstract

A three-sector model with a suitably chosen distribution of price stickiness can closely approximate the response to aggregate shocks of New Keynesian models with a much larger number of sectors, allowing for their estimation at much reduced computational cost.
