Figure 4: Estimated Impulse Responses to a Productivity Shock♦
♦ Each panel plots the mean response corresponding a positive one standard deviation shock.
Each response is for a 10 quarters (2.5 years) horizon. All DSGE impulse responses are computed
simulating the vector of DSGE model parameters at the posterior mean values reported in Table 3.
