1485 - 6441 Testing for Two - step Granger Noncausality in Trivariate VAR Models
Granger’s (1969) popular concept of causality, based on work by Weiner (1956), is typically defined in terms of predictability for one period ahead. Recently, Dufour and Renault (1998) generalized the concept to causality at a given horizon h, and causality up to horizon h, where h is a positive integer that can be infinite (1≤h<∞); see also Sims (1980), Hsiao (1982) and Lütkepohl (1993a) for r...
متن کاملTesting the Granger Noncausality Hypothesis in Stationary Nonlinear Models of Unknown Functional Form
In this paper we propose a general method for testing the Granger noncausality hypothesis in stationary nonlinear models of unknown functional form. These tests are based on a Taylor expansion of the nonlinear model around a given point in the sample space. We study the performance of our tests by a Monte Carlo experiment and compare these to the most widely used linear test. Our tests appear t...
متن کاملCausality and Regime Inference in a Markov Switching VAR
This paper analyses three Granger noncausality hypotheses within a conditionally Gaussian MS-VAR model. Noncausality in mean is based on Granger’s original concept for linear predictors by defining noncausality from the 1-step ahead forecast error variance for the conditional expectation. Noncausality in mean-variance concerns the conditional forecast error variance, while noncausality in distr...
متن کاملNoncausality and inflation persistence
We use noncausal autoregressions to examine the persistence properties of quarterly U.S. consumer price inflation from 1970:1—2012:2. These nonlinear models capture the autocorrelation structure of the inflation series as accurately as their conventional causal counterparts, but they allow for persistence to depend on the size and sign of shocks to inflation as well as the inflation rate. Infla...
متن کاملOn Numerical (in)stability of Recursive Present Value Computation Method
We show that the recursive computation scheme of present value (PV), which is used implicitly in FAS 91 accounting standard, is numerically unstable and that the absolute error increases exponentially for positive discount rates. We show that reversing the direction of calculations in the recurrence equation yields a robust PV computation routine.
