| Description | The paper introduces a New Keynesian DSGE model that describes the inflation targeting policy in the Czech economy. This model is based strictly on microfoundations and consists of representative finished and intermediate goods-producing firms, representative households and a cetral bank. The central bank implements its policy according to the generalized Taylor rule. A suitable method for solving the model is the Kalman filter evaluating a likelihood function and the Kalman smoother evaluating a time series of a smoothed estimate of the unobserved variable (target inflation). The model seems to give an approximation of the behavior of the Czech economy. |
