| Abstract: | Okun's coefficient is estimated from U.S. quarterly data covering the period 1947:1–1992:2. The cyclical components of unemployment and output are extracted by smoothing using the Kalman filter as applied to Harvey's structural time series model. The estimated Okun's coefficient is around −0.38 irrespective of the whether the model used is static or dynamic and irrespective of the lag length in the dynamic model. |
