Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I pursued advanced econometric research on cointegrated vector autoregressive (CVAR) models allowing for structural breaks so as to address various issues related to the Lucas critique, a well-known critique against the use of econometric models in evaluating economic policies. The research project consisted of the following three stages: (1) developing required mathematical econometric theories, (2) conducting a series of Monte Carlo simulation analyses and (3) modeling and analyzing real-life time series data. I clarified the importance of a class of exogenous variables in drawing inference for quantitative policy evaluations using CVAR models. I presented the outcome of the research at various conferences and seminars. I also wrote a series of research papers and submitted them to academic peer-reviewed journals.
