The Time Machine
Trace financial shocks across the economic timeline.
Policy shocks do not arrive all at once. Build a defensible lag structure, recover impact and cumulative effects, compress long response paths carefully, and keep dynamic diagnostics and identification risks visible.
MISSION OBJECTIVES
- Distinguish distributed-lag from autoregressive models.
- Interpret impact, interim, and long-run multipliers.
- Choose a lag horizon using economic timing and statistical evidence.
- Explain the restrictions behind Koyck and Almon lag models.
- Estimate, diagnose, and report a dynamic financial model without causal overclaiming.
