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 کاملOptimal Shrinkage Estimation in Heteroscedastic Hierarchical Models
Hierarchical models are powerful statistical tools widely used in scientific and engineering applications. The homoscedastic (equal variance) case has been extensively studied, and it is well known that shrinkage estimates, the James-Stein estimate in particular, offer nice theoretical (e.g., risk) properties. The heteroscedastic (the unequal variance) case, on the other hand, has received less...
متن کاملA General Framework for Observation Driven Time-Varying Parameter Models
We propose a new class of observation driven time series models that we refer to as Generalized Autoregressive Score (GAS) models. The driving mechanism of the GAS model is the scaled likelihood score. This provides a unified and consistent framework for introducing time-varying parameters in a wide class of non-linear models. The GAS model encompasses other well-known models such as the genera...
متن کاملModeling and Forecasting Iranian Inflation with Time Varying BVAR Models
This paper investigates the forecasting performance of different time-varying BVAR models for Iranian inflation. Forecast accuracy of a BVAR model with Litterman’s prior compared with a time-varying BVAR model (a version introduced by Doan et al., 1984); and a modified time-varying BVAR model, where the autoregressive coefficients are held constant and only the deterministic components are allo...
