Hierarchical Shrinkage in Time-Varying Parameter Models
In this paper, we forecast EU-area inflation with many predictors using time-varying parameter models. The facts that time-varying parameter models are parameter-rich and the time span of our data is relatively short motivate a desire for shrinkage. In constant coefficient regression models, the Bayesian Lasso is gaining increasing popularity as an effective tool for achieving such shrinkage. I...
متن کاملCorrected portmanteau tests for VAR models with time-varying variance
The problem of test of fit for Vector AutoRegressive (VAR) processes with unconditionally heteroscedastic errors is studied. The volatility structure is deterministic but time-varying and allows for changes that are commonly observed in economic or financial multivariate series such as breaks or smooth transitions. Our analysis is based on the residual autocovariances and autocorrelations obtai...
متن کاملImproved Estimation in Time Varying Models
Locally adapted parameterizations of a model (such as locally weighted regression) are expressive but often suffer from high variance. We describe an approach for reducing this variance, based on the idea of estimating simultaneously a transformed space for the model and locally adapted parameterizations expressed in the new space. We present a new problem formulation that captures this idea an...
متن کاملOn the predictability of time-varying VAR and DSGE models
Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in DSGE modelling for predicting macroeconomic uctuations and conducting quantitative policy analysis. Hybrid DSGE models have become popular for dealing with some of the DSGE misspeci cations as they are able to solve the tradeo¤ between theoretical coherence and empirical t. However, these models are still linear and they do not con...
متن کاملThe Price Puzzle and Var Identification
In structural VARs, unexpected monetary tightening often leads to the price puzzle, a counterintuitive increase in inflation in the impulse response function. The identification of impulse responses requires at least a minimal set of structural assumptions, and models exhibiting the price puzzle typically use standard assumptions focusing mainly on relationships among contemporaneous disturbanc...
