| Popis | The aim of this paper is to analyse the macroeconomic data of Czech economy and to discuss whether they correspond to RBC or New Keynesian theory. Firstly, we focus on non-neutrality of monetary policy. Secondly, using Blanchar-Quah decomposition in bivariate VAR model we identify technology and nontechnology shocks. The technology shocks produces negative correlation between hours worked and productivity, while nontechnology shocks implies positive correlation between these two variables. This result is in contrast with RBC model which shows positive correlation between hours worked and productivity in reaction to technology shocks, as main source of fluctuations. On the other hand, New Keynesians models are consistent with these empirical findings. |
