A robust method for simulating forward-looking models

Article Abstract:

The Newton method and the Fair-Taylor approach showed that the stacked Newton method is a practical option for medium-sized economic models. However, empirical comparisons indicate that the superior convergence characteristics of integrated dynamic simulator-Newton procedure (IDS-N) for linear models carry over nonlinear models. ISD-N seems to be more robust than Fair-Taylor methods in two ways, but results cannot be applied to all macroeconomic models and all experiments.
