[A Bayesian Look at New Open Economy Macroeconomics]: Comment

In this paper Thomas Lubik and Frank Schorfheide introduce and estimate a mid-size two-country model of monetary interdependence. The key building blocks of the model are rather well known, having been extensively investigated in the large (and growing) DSGE literature. The open-economy dimensions of the paper are perhaps less familiar, and it is precisely on those aspects that this comment is focused.
