Inducing sparsity and shrinkage in time-varying parameter models

F Huber, G Koop, L Onorante - Journal of Business & Economic …, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
Time-varying parameter (TVP) models have the potential to be over-parameterized,
particularly when the number of variables in the model is large. Global-local priors are …

[HTML][HTML] Sparse Bayesian time-varying covariance estimation in many dimensions

G Kastner - Journal of Econometrics, 2019 - Elsevier
We address the curse of dimensionality in dynamic covariance estimation by modeling the
underlying co-volatility dynamics of a time series vector through latent time-varying …

Dynamic shrinkage processes

DR Kowal, DS Matteson… - Journal of the Royal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We propose a novel class of dynamic shrinkage processes for Bayesian time series and
regression analysis. Building on a global–local framework of prior construction, in which …

Sparse Bayesian vector autoregressions in huge dimensions

G Kastner, F Huber - Journal of Forecasting, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We develop a Bayesian vector autoregressive (VAR) model with multivariate stochastic
volatility that is capable of handling vast dimensional information sets. Three features are …

Inference in Bayesian additive vector autoregressive tree models

F Huber, L Rossini - The Annals of Applied Statistics, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
Vector autoregressive (VAR) models assume linearity between the endogenous variables
and their lags. This assumption might be overly restrictive and could have a deleterious …

Spillovers from US monetary policy: evidence from a time varying parameter global vector auto‐regressive model

J Crespo Cuaresma, G Doppelhofer… - Journal of the Royal …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The paper develops a global vector auto‐regressive model with time varying parameters
and stochastic volatility to analyse whether international spillovers of US monetary policy …

The horseshoe prior for time-varying parameter VARs and monetary policy

J Prüser - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2021 - Elsevier
Time-varying parameter VARs have become the workhorse models in empirical
macroeconomics. These models are usually equipped with tightly parametrized prior …

Unconventional US monetary policy: new tools, same channels?

M Feldkircher, F Huber - Journal of Risk and Financial Management, 2018 - mdpi.com
In this paper, we compare the transmission of a conventional monetary policy shock with that
of an unexpected decrease in the term spread, which mirrors quantitative easing. Employing …

US Economic uncertainty shocks and china's economic activities: A time-varying perspective

L Liu - Sage Open, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
This paper presents new empirical evidence concerning the time-varying responses of
China's macroeconomy to US economic uncertainty shocks through a novel TVP-VAR …

[HTML][HTML] A loss discounting framework for model averaging and selection in time series models

D Bernaciak, JE Griffin - International Journal of Forecasting, 2024 - Elsevier
We introduce a loss discounting framework for model and forecast combination, which
generalises and combines Bayesian model synthesis and generalized Bayes …
