Zusammenfassung: 
We introduce an estimated medium scale Heterogeneous-Agent New Keynesian model for forecasting and policy analysis in the Euro Area and discuss the applications of this type of models in central banks, focusing on two main exercises. First, we examine an alternative scenario for monetary policy during the early 2020s inflationary episode, showing that earlier hikes in interest rates would have affected more strongly households at the lower end of the wealth distribution, whose consumption our model suggests was already depressed relative to the rest of the population. To provide intuition for this result, we introduce a new decomposition of the effects of monetary policy on consumption across the wealth distribution. Second, we show that introducing heterogeneous households does not come at the cost of forecasting accuracy by comparing the performance of our model to its exact representative-agent counterpart and demonstrating nearly identical results in predicting key aggregate variables.
