  13. Slide 13: What we do

    What we do I Traditional: two–way view on the data: πit = λ0i f t + it |{z} |{z} Aggregate Sector i shocks shock I Sector shocks → pipeline pressures → comovement I So λ0i f t confounds two types of shocks (Foerster e.a, 2011): – Aggregate shocks – Sector–specific shocks, through pipeline pressures

  14. Slide 14: What we do

    What we do In a nutshell, what we do 1. Infer pipeline pressures from the data I Structural model 2. Verify empirical relevance I Bayes factor 3. Verify difficulties of the dfm to correctly disentangle pipeline pressures from aggregate shocks I Compare model decomposition with dfm decomposition 4. A
