This paper estimates and simulates a New-Keynesian small-scale DSGE macro model. The model consists of the hybrid forms of the Phillips curve and the IS curve, and is closed with a Taylor-type feedback rule allowing partial adjustment of the monetary policy instrument. We estimate the three-equation system simultaneously on Swedish data 1995:Q1 to 2014:Q4 with the FIML estimator. The empirical par
It is important in psychological research to use well planned methods that are as time and resource efficient as possible, without jeopardizing the reliability and validity of psychological science. The present paper aims to test how sequential analyses could be implemented in psychological research using Bayesian statistics. With sequential analyses it is possible to stop an experiment or study i

Jag försöker på nytt ge byggnaden en mer relevant funktion i hopp om att avsaknaden av stram budget och krav på ett snabbt genomförande ska resultera i ett mer inspirerande projekt. Målet är ett proj
