Introduction
The theoretical background – Neo-Classical Synthesis .The long-run equilibrium is determined by supply side factors(Neo-Classical theory) and short-run fluctuations are demand
driven (Keynesian theory).
Backward looking -expectations are reflected via laggedvariables , which is considered adequate for the purpose of generating short- to medium-term forecasts.
Behavioral equations – error correction form ( EngleGranger two step procedure has been employed).

The purpose of the BNBQM istwofold:
First, to produce macroeconomic forecasts for theBulgarian economy.
Second, to assess the effects of economicshocks on the Bulgarian economy in simulatedscenario analyses.

Supply side of the Economy
The standard theory of monopolistic competition isapplied.
Profits of an individual firm are determined byreturns from sale with costs of labour and capitalsubtracted.
The production process is represented by a CobbDouglas function.

Structure of the model andestimated equations
The simulation and projection features of the BNB QuarterlyProjection Model are driven by twenty behavioural equationsand additional forty three identities . Around one hundred andsixty variables enter the model.
The model is in Eviews 5.1 (a program file which imports the data,estimates equations, solves the model and produces forecastsoutput).
The model is structured into five blocks : production function andfactor demand equations, aggregate demand, prices and wages,monetary, and fiscal sector.

Error correction form
Most of the dynamic equations take the following general form:

Potential output
Total factor productivity is estimated as a residual fromthe production function for the estimated period thenusing Hodrick-Prescott filter we receive the trend.
The potential employment is received from a labour forceforecast and estimated NAIRU.
NAIRU is assumed to be at around 7.7% level (slightlydecreasing over the forecasting period) and is estimatedusing Elmeskov (1993) approach.

Fiscal sector
Government expenditures and government revenuesare modelled separately:
The government expenditures are disaggregated into fiveparts: government consumption, government investment,government transfers, government interest payments andother expenditure.
The government revenues consist of five components:revenues from personal income tax, social securitycontribution, revenues from corporate income tax,revenues from indirect taxes and other revenue items.

Simulations
To illustrate the simulation properties of the BNBQM, we assessthe response of the model’s main variables to the followingstandard shocks:
an increase in government consumption by 1% of GDP
an increase in volume of world trade by 1%
a depreciation of the lev against the US dollar by 1%
an increase in the price of oil by 10%
an increase in EURIBOR by 100 basis points

An increase in world demandThis simulation is particularly important because of the openness of the Bulgarian economy. The external demand shock leads to astronger domestic demand. The external shock directly drives upthe volume of exports by 1.55% (second year), which in turn also increases imports.
Employment and nominal wages increase which leads to higher private consumption (0.57%-seventh year).
Higher aggregate demand widens the output gap that pushes upthe aggregate price level.

An exchange rate shockThe decrease in the value of the lev against the US dollar has animmediate impact on both the import and export deflators – they bothincrease .
HICP increases by 0.25% in the fifth year. Compensation per employeeadjusts and income increases which drives the consumption up.
Because of the relative increase in foreign prices, imports decrease and exports increase slightly. The reaction of real GDP to an
exchange rate shock achieves its maximum in the fifth year (0.32%).

An oil price shockAn oil price shock leads to increasing domestic prices through directchannels - rising import prices. The response grows gradually andachieves its maximum - 0.41% for HICP in the seventh year.
The rise in prices causes a reduction in the demand for domestic andforeign goods and the consequent fall in household consumption,imports and exports . As a result, GDP and real disposable income arebelow baseline till year six.
Higher oil price has a negative impact on output and domesticdemand (private consumption declines by 0.17% and GDP falls by0.15% in the fifth year).
Reduced economic activity leads to a lower demand for imports , realexports are also decreasing due to an increase in domestic prices.

Interest rate shockBecause of the fixed exchange rate regime the exchange rate does notreact to domestic interest rate changes. The main effect is throughinvestment- raising costs of capital and reducing output . Investmentdecreases by 1.12% and GDP is reduced by 0.18% in the fourth year.
The effect on domestic prices is negative due to a weaker domesticdemand.
Due to lower internal aggregate demand, employment and wages fall .

Concluding remarks andextensions
A first step towards building a structuralmacroeconomic model.
This practical work gives valuable information for thefuture development of the model which needs to becontinuously developed and could be improved in anumber of respects:
Availability of new data will require re-estimation and re-calibration of the model;

Concluding remarks andextensions
Developing a long-run baseline that reflects a fully theory-consistent long-run steady state;
To consider policy rules in the simulations;
Developing a more detailed representation of the tradeblock by including services on the one hand and differentregions on the other hand;
An extension of forward-looking behaviour. Expectationsshould be incorporated, particularly to allow for a specificrole in price and wage formation.
