| Summary: | This article examines the theoretical foundations of economic forecasting based on DSGE models. DSGE models are the main direction of contemporary macroeconomics theory—the inclusion of the stochastic processes and expectations of economic agents in the analysis of economic processes made them one of the best economic forecasting tools. The methodological basis of this paper is two approaches of economic forecasting theory: technical analysis and fundamental analysis. In this article, we have performed the calibration of the DSGE model with investment adjustment costs for the Latvian economy and compared these results with the statistical data filtered with the SSA method. Key results have shown the ability of both approaches to capture the dynamics of the main Latvian macroeconomic indicators. |
