Bayesian Stochastic Search for VAR Model Restrictions
We propose a Bayesian stochastic search approach to selecting restrictions for Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models. For this purpose, we develop a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that visits high posterior probability restrictions on the elements of both the VAR regression coefficients and the error variance matrix. Numerical simulations show that stochastic search based on this algori...
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 کاملBayesian stochastic model specification search for seasonal and calendar effects
We apply a recent methodology, Bayesian stochastic model specification search (SMSS), for the selection of the unobserved components (level, slope, seasonal cycles, trading days effects) that are stochastically evolving over time. SMSS hinges on two basic ingredients: the non-centered representation of the unobserved components and the reparameterization of the hyperparameters representing stan...
متن کاملStochastic Local Search for Bayesian Networks
The paper evaluates empirically the suitability of Stochastic Local Search algorithms (SLS) for nding most probable explanations in Bayesian networks. SLS algorithms (e.g., GSAT, WSAT [16]) have recently proven to be highly e ective in solving complex constraint-satisfaction and satis ability problems which cannot be solved by traditional search schemes. Our experiments investigate the applicab...
متن کاملCharacterizing economic trends by Bayesian stochastic model specification search
We apply a recently proposed Bayesian model selection technique, known as stochastic model specification search, for characterising the nature of the trend in macroeconomic time series. We illustrate that the methodology can be quite successfully applied to discriminate between stochastic and deterministic trends. In particular, we formulate autoregressive models with stochastic trends componen...
