A Complete VARMA Modelling Methodology Based on Scalar Components
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an extension to scalar component methodology for the identification and estimation of VARMA models. The complete methodology determines the exact positions of all free parameters in any VARMA model with a predetermined embedded scalar component structure. This leads to an exactly identified system of equations that is estimated using full information maximum likelihood.

Two canonical VARMA forms: Scalar component models vis-à-vis the Echelon form
In this paper we study two methodologies which identify and specify canonical form VARMA models. The two methodologies are: (i) an extension of the scalar component methodology which specifies canonical VARMA models by identifying scalar components through canonical correlations analysis and (ii) the Echelon form methodology which specifies canonical VARMA models through the estimation of Krone...
متن کاملThe Use of Varma Models in Forecasting Macroeconomic Indicators
Although the scalar components methodology used to build VARMA models is rather difficult, the VAR models application being easier in practice, the forecasts based on the first models have a higher degree of accuracy. This statement is demonstrated for variables like the 3-month Treasury bill rate and the spread between the 10 year government bond yield, where the quarterly data are from the U....
متن کاملVARMA versus VAR for Macroeconomic Forecasting
In this paper, we argue that there is no compelling reason for restricting the class of multivariate models considered for macroeconomic forecasting to VARs given the recent advances in VARMA modelling methodology and improvements in computing power. To support this claim, we use real macroeconomic data and show that VARMA models forecast macroeconomic variables more accurately than VAR models.
متن کاملDetermination of long-run and short-run dynamics in EC-VARMA models via canonical correlations
This article studies a simple, coherent approach for identifying and estimating error correcting vector autoregressive moving average (EC-VARMA) models. Canonical correlation analysis is implemented for both determining the cointegrating rank, using a strongly consistent method, and identifying the short-run VARMA dynamics, using the scalar component methodology. Finite sample performances are ...
متن کاملMeasuring the Effects of Malaysian Monetary Policy: VARMA vs VAR Models
In this paper, we take a step forward from the existing monetary literature, which is largely dominated by vector autoregressive (VAR) and structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models, and apply a vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) methodology for modelling and analysing Malaysian monetary policy. The Malaysian economy is an interesting case study of a small open economy with capita...
