Stability of Mixtures of Vector Autoregressions with Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity

چکیده
This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for stationarity and existence of second moments in mixtures of linear vector autoregressive models with autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity. Sufficient conditions are also provided for a more general model in which the mixture components are permitted to exhibit limited forms of nonlinearity. When specialized to the corresponding non-mixture case these sufficient conditions improve on their previous counterparts obtained for nonlinear autoregressions with nonlinear conditional heteroskedasticity. In this context, a previous conjecture is also disproved. The results of the paper are proved by using the stability theory of Markov chains. Stationarity, existence of second moments of the stationary distribution, and β-mixing are obtained by establishing an appropriate version of geometric ergodicity.

متن کاملIdentifying Structural Vector Autoregressions via Changes in Volatility
Identification of shocks of interest is a central problem in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) modelling. Identification is often achieved by imposing restrictions on the impact or long-run effects of shocks or by considering sign restrictions for the impulse responses. In a number of articles changes in the volatility of the shocks have also been used for identification. The present stud...

متن کاملIdentification of Structural Vector Autoregressions by Stochastic Volatility
In Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) models, heteroskedasticity can be exploited to identify structural parameters statistically. In this paper, we propose to capture time variation in the second moment of structural shocks by a stochastic volatility (SV) model, assuming that their log variances follow latent AR(1) processes. Estimation is performed by Gaussian Maximum Likelihood and an e...
