Maximum Likelihood in the Frequency Domain: The Importance of Time-to-Plan

We illustrate the use of various frequency domain tools for estimating and testing dynamic, stochastic general equilibrium models. Our substantive results confirm other findings which suggest that time-to-plan in the investment technology has potentially useful role to play in business cycle models.
