| Abstract: | This work takes one of the most prominent behavioral New-Keynesian models from the shelf and estimates it via the simulated method of moments. The model exhibits a remarkably good ft to the auto- and cross-covariance profles of the euro area macroeconomic time series, especially compared to the standard rational expectations model. This result corroborates the claim that central banks which implement strict infation targeting are better of reacting to the output gap, on top of infation. |
