Priors

Hello,
Has any of you read authors who use "informed priors" or estimate some parameters outside the DSGE model?
Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean? Hybrid approaches are quite common. For example, Born/Pfeifer (2014): "Policy Risk and the Business Cycle" use dogmatic priors for some parameters, estimate a second set outside of the model and then finally use a Bayesian SMM to estimate the rest.
