Time-Varying Structural Vector Autoregressions and Monetary Policy: A Corrigendum
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the various Markov Chain Monte Carlo steps.

Structural Vector Autoregressions and the Analysis of Monetary Policy Interventions: The Swiss Case
This paper estimates a structural VAR model for key Swiss macroeconomics variables with quarterly data from 1974-1999 which allows the identification of a monetary shock with plausible impulse response patterns. Conditional forecasts generated by this model are used to analyse monetary policy in the in the new policy framework of SNB adopted in late 1999. In this exercise we attempt to take int...
متن کاملMonetary Policy Reaction Functions in Iran: An Extended Kalman Filter Approach
Estimates of instrumental rules can be utilized to describe central bank's behavior and monetary policy stance. In the last decade, considerable attention has been given to time-varying parameter (TVP) specification of monetary policy rules. Constant-parameter reaction functions likely ignore the impact of model uncertainty, shifting preferences and nonlinearities of policymaker's choices. This...

This paper aims to investigate the role of each aggregate spending component in the monetary policy transmission in Indonesia. It assesses the relative strength of the role of each spending component in the monetary policy transmission. In so doing, this study employs the contribution analysis, which is calculated based on the cumulative impulse response of each component of GDP to a monetary p...
متن کاملModeling Monetary Policy Dynamics: A Comparison of Regime Switching and Time Varying Parameter Approaches
Structural VAR models have been widely used to model monetary policy dynamics. Typically, a choice is made between regime-switching models and time-varying parameter models. In this paper we use a canonical model of monetary policy and estimate both types of time variation in monetary policy while also allowing for changing variances. The models are compared using marginal likelihood and foreca...
