Business Cycles Theory, Monitoring and Modelling

Disertation abstract:
Ve své práci bych se chtěl věnovat modelům hosodářských cyklů, problémům spojených s jejich odhadováním (filtrace a odhad trendu) a cílem by měl být model, který by byl schopen konzistentně předpovídat cyklus a jak kvalitativní tak kvantitativní dopady hospodářské politiky. Co se týče metodologie, práce bude vycházet z teorie hospodářských cyklů, tedy na odhadování a kalibraci parametrů strukturálních rovnic odvozených z modelu rovnovážného cyklu.
