Forecasting with a noncausal VAR model
We propose simulation-based forecasting methods for the noncausal vector autoregressive model proposed by Lanne and Saikkonen (2012). Simulation or numerical methods are required because the prediction problem is generally nonlinear and, therefore, its analytical solution is not available. It turns out that different special cases of the model call for different simulation procedures. Simulatio...
متن کاملInteractions between Eurozone and US Booms and Busts: A Bayesian Panel Markov-switching VAR Model
Interactions between the eurozone and US booms and busts and among major eurozone economies are analyzed by introducing a panel Markov-switching VAR model well suitable for a multi-country cyclical analysis. The model accommodates changes in low and high data frequencies and endogenous time-varying transition matrices of the country-specific Markov chains. The transition matrix of each Markov c...
متن کاملForecasting Exchange Rates with a Large Bayesian VAR
Models based on economic theory have serious problems at forecasting exchange rates better than simple univariate driftless random walk models, especially at short horizons. Multivariate time series models suffer from the same problem. In this paper, we propose to forecast exchange rates with a large Bayesian VAR (BVAR), using a panel of 33 exchange rates vis-a-vis the US Dollar. Since exchange...
متن کاملAccuracy of Bayesian VAR in forecasting the economy of Indiana
This paper develops a forecasting model for important macroeconomic variables in the state of Indiana. In this study, we specify a Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) model with Litterman’s prior. A comparison with the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model shows that BVAR improves forecast by reducing root mean square
متن کاملForecasting using a large panel of predictors: Bayesian model averaging and principal components regression
We study the out-of-sample forecast performance of two alternative methods for dealing with dimensionality: Bayesian model Averaging (BMA) and principal components regression (PCR). We conduct a different out-of-sample investigation in which the predictors are chosen jointly for both output and inflation using Bayesian variable selection in each out-of-sample recursion using information availab...
