Simulating Forward-Looking Models

The solutions of a macroeconometricmodel with expectations of future-dated variables has to be approximated by numerical simulations. A brief review of deterministic and stochastic dynamic simulations of a backward-looking model is followed by a conceptual presentation of methods for dynamic simulations of a forward-looking (rational expectations) model. Detailed numerical methods for solving the models are beyond the scope of this note.publishedVersio
