Combining Var Forecast Densities Using Fast Fourier Transform
In this paper, I propose the use of fast Fourier transform (FFT) as a convenienttool for combining forecast densities of vector autoregressive models in a hybrid Bayesianmanner. While a vast amount of papers comprises combinations based on normal approxi-mations, Monte Carlo methods were fully utilized here, which made the analysis computa-tionally demanding. For the sake of min...
متن کاملPredictive Likelihood Comparisons with DSGE and DSGE-VAR Models
In this paper we treat the issue of forecasting with DSGE and DSGE-VAR models, with particular attention to Bayesian estimation of the predictive distribution and its mean and covariance. As a novel contribution to the forecasting literature, which extends beyond (log-linearized) DSGE models and DSGE-VARs, we show how the value of the h-step-ahead marginal and joint predictive likelihood for a ...
متن کاملThe relationship between DSGE and VAR models
This chapter reviews the literature on the econometric relationship between DSGE and VAR models from the point of view of estimation and model validation. The mapping between DSGE and VAR models is broken down into three stages: 1) from DSGE to statespace model; 2) from state-space model to VAR(1); 3) from VAR(1) to nite order VAR. The focus is on discussing what can go wrong at each step of th...
متن کاملDSGE model restrictions for structural VAR identification
The identification of reduced-form VAR model had been the subject of numerous debates in the literature. Different sets of identifying assumptions can lead to very different conclusions in the policy debate. This paper proposes a theoretical consistent identification strategy using restrictions implied by a DSGE model. Monte Carlo simulations suggest the proposed identification strategy is succ...
متن کاملMarginalized Predictive Likelihood Comparisons of Linear Gaussian State-Space Models with Applications to DSGE, DSGE-VAR, and VAR Models
The predictive likelihood is useful for ranking models in forecast comparison exercises using Bayesian inference. We discuss how it can be estimated, by means of marginalization, for any subset of the observables in linear Gaussian state-space models. We compare macroeconomic density forecasts for the euro area of a DSGE model to those of a DSGE-VAR, a BVAR, and a multivariate random walk over ...
