Time-Varying Structural Vector Autoregressions and Monetary Policy: A Corrigendum

This note corrects a mistake in the estimation algorithm of the time-varying structural vector autoregression model of Primiceri (2005) and proposes a new algorithm that correctly applies the procedure proposed by Kim, Shephard, and Chib (1998) to the estimation of VAR or DSGE models with stochastic volatility. Relative to Primiceri (2005), the correct algorithm involves a different ordering of...

Changes in the Transmission of Monetary Policy: Evidence from a Time-Varying Factor-Augmented VAR

This paper re-examines the evolution in the US monetary transmission mechanism using an empirical framework that incorporates substantially more information than the standard trivariate VAR model used in most previous studies. In particular, we employ an extended version of the factor-augmented VAR proposed by Bernanke et al. (2005). Our extensions include allowing for time variation in the coe...

Time-varying Criteria for Monetary Integration: Evidence from the Emu

How can we determine whether an economy will benefit from membership in a monetary union? While economic theory has proposed a number of widely accepted criteria, virtually all empirical studies apply them as if they were time-invariant. The purpose of this paper is to show that, unless the dynamic nature of these criteria is explicitly taken into account, the results will be flawed and mislead...

Wavelet based time-varying vector autoregressive modelling

Vector autoregressive (VAR) modelling is one of the most popular approaches in multivariate time series analysis. The parameters interpretation is simple, and provide an intuitive identification of relationships and Granger causality among time series. However, the VAR modelling requires stationarity conditions which could not be valid in many practical applications. Locally stationary or time ...
