Empirical · Semi-structural / macroeconometric forecasting · Subgroup

Core semi-structural families

The backbone semi-structural systems -- small-to-medium estimated equation systems for output, prices, labor, and policy that respect identities without imposing full DSGE micro-foundations.

What this subgroup is for

When to reach for core semi-structural families

Reach for the core families when you want a workhorse macroeconometric system that ties output, inflation, the labor market, and a policy rule together inside one estimated structure.

Core semi-structural familiesReference/Reference catalog

Semi-structural core

A core block of estimated macro equations -- output, inflation, labor, policy -- wired together without full DSGE micro-foundations.

Best for: A medium-sized policy-oriented forecasting system that respects identities and rules without committing to a fully micro-founded model.

Macroeconometric system

Larger central-bank-style macroeconometric forecasting systems built around behavioral equations and policy reaction functions.

Best for: Producing forecasts and policy scenarios in a setting where a small VAR is too thin and a full DSGE is more structure than the question needs.
