An Extended Yule-walker Method for Estimating a Vector Autoregressive Model with Mixed-frequency Data
Zadrozny (1990) proposed and illustrated a nonlinear Kalman-filtering (KF) method for estimating a vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) model with mixed-frequency and partly temporallyaggregated data. The present paper proposes an optimal three-step linear instrumental variable method for estimating a VAR model with mixed-frequency data. The method compensates for missing data arising f...
متن کاملRealtime nowcasting with a Bayesian mixed frequency model with stochastic volatility
The paper develops a method for producing current quarter forecasts of gross domestic product growth with a (possibly large) range of available within-the-quarter monthly observations of economic indicators, such as employment and industrial production, and financial indicators, such as stock prices and interest rates. In light of existing evidence of time variation in the variances of shocks t...
متن کاملUsing Entropic Tilting to Combine BVAR Forecasts with External Nowcasts∗
This paper shows entropic tilting to be a flexible and powerful tool for combining mediumterm forecasts from BVARs with short-term forecasts from other sources (nowcasts from either surveys or other models). Tilting systematically improves the accuracy of both point and density forecasts, and tilting the BVAR forecasts based on nowcast means and variances yields slightly greater gains in densit...
متن کاملInvestigating brain connectivity using mixed effects vector autoregressive models
We propose a mixed-effects vector auto-regressive (ME-VAR) model for studying brain effective connectivity. One common approach to investigating inter-regional associations in brain activity is the multivariate auto-regressive (VAR) model. The standard VAR model unrealistically assumes the connectivity structure to be identical across all participants in a study and therefore, could yield misle...
متن کاملQuantifying the Monetary Transmission Mechanism: A Mixed-Frequency Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregressive Regression Approach
This paper studies the monetary transmission mechanism in the U.S. It proposes a mixed-frequency version of the factor-augmented vector autoregressive regression (FAVAR) model, which is used to construct a coincident index to measure the monetary transmission mechanism. The model divides the transmission of changes in monetary policy to the economy into three stages according to the timing and ...
