We develop Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) that permit to model generic nonlinearities and time variation for (possibly large sets of) macroeconomic and financial variables. From a …
Bayesian vector autoregressions (BVARs) are the workhorse in macroeconomic forecasting. Research in the last decade has established the importance of allowing time-varying …
Predicting the future is notoriously difficult, even more so during crises when the realizations of economic variables are far from their average. In fact, econometric models are typically …

This paper presents a grid-based algorithm using Gaussian Processes to predict outputs using spatially and temporally dependent data. First, independent Gaussian Processes are …
We propose and discuss Bayesian machine learning methods for mixed data sampling (MIDAS) regressions. This involves handling frequency mismatches with restricted and …
Increases in the use of Bayesian inference in applied analysis, the complexity of estimated models, and the popularity of efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference under …

Time-Varying Parameters Vector Autoregressive (TVP-VAR) models are frequently used in economics to capture evolving relationships among the macroeconomic variables. However …

The inherent feature of Bayesian empirical analysis is the dependence of posterior inference on prior parameters, which researchers typically specify. However, quantifying the …
