A tale of fat tails

European Economic Review, 2017
Abstract We document the extent to which major macroeconomic series, used to inform linear DSGE models, can be characterized by power laws whose indices we estimate via maximum likelihood. Assuming data follow a linear recursion with multiplicative noise, low estimated indices suggest fat tails. We then ask whether standard DSGE models under constant
