These models have been reasonably successful in replicating business cycles features of developed economies and have gained considerable importance for policy analysis and forecasting at central banks around the western world.However, for developing countries like Pakistan the adoption of such models requires a signi.cant amount of groundwork and customization i.e. to be consistent with relevant micro evidence. However, any information about even the basic micro foundations of Pakistan economy is dificult to obtain as there is an inherent lack of micro-based surveys and even appropriate frequency data of major macroeconomic variables is mostly unavailable. Furthermore the lack of forward looking variables available in developing countries further complicates the situation. These challenges related to unavailability and consistency of micro-macro data tend to be understated when it comes to developing DSGE models for developing countries. For most of the existing literature on DSGE models for emerging economies, key parameters are borrowed from the literature and data transformation remains inadequate. One major contribution of this paper is that it overcomes some of these issues to a certain extent. This has been done through conducting wage and price setting surveys of manufacturing firms both in the formal and informal sectors representing all the subsectors under manucturing in Pakistan. Besides, we have tried to use respresntative micro level datasets made available by Federal Bureau of Statistics (e.g., Labor Force Survey) and compiled effectively by us at the Research Department.
